Jest Red California Table Wine
We always have 3 or 4 bottles on hand. I can't remember the last time where we drank one bottle and didn't drink a second.
Penfold's and Lindeman's are two winners in the low pricepoint category, IMO.
My favorite in the <$10 category can be found at the local Trader Joe's - Concha y Toro Cab for $7.99 a bottle.
I live in SF where everything is more expensive. A $10 bottle here is closer to $7 or $8 in other parts of the country, so a decent red is hard to find. Rosemount offers a number of different red blends that are pretty consistent. They use cabernet as well as rhone varietals like shiraz, grenache, and mourvedre. For whites, it shouldn't be hard to find decent sauvignon blanc in that range. Bogle's S.B. is pretty tasty as an everyday drinker. Also, it's good to get to know a local shop - many wine shops have a "$10 and under" bin and are happy to make suggestions.
Not $10 or less, but Thirsty Owl Pinot Noir.
I don't drink wine, although my wife will swear by the two-buck Chuck Chardonnay at Trader Joe's. Now that one's opening about 15 minutes from us, I'm in trouble.......
There's a really good Ruffino Chianti for about $8/bottle.
I'll second the Concha y Toro. We get it at BJs for about $7-8 and it's the big bottle!Penfold's and Lindeman's are two winners in the low pricepoint category, IMO.

I also like Black Swan Shiraz.
The one that used to be our house red was Santa Cristina Sangiovese. (An Antinori wine)
$9.99 at Safeway.
The 2004 wasn't as good as the vintages before though so I can't say for sure since I haven't had it since that release.
Been sticking with WA wines lately. My offsite wine storage is packed with it. Just bought a case of this long, lost Bordeux
It's amazing but not in the $10 range...

I hate to break it to you, but that's not a Bordeaux.
Not according to the winemaker and several other sources:I hate to break it to you, but that's not a Bordeaux.

No - I mean it's not a *Bordeaux*....
That's like saying an Oregon Pinot Noir is a Burgundy.

ok then; the long lost GRAPE of Bordeaux.
You mean like Zinfandel? It's the long "lost" grape of Croatia....ok then; the long lost GRAPE of Bordeaux.

When I lived in RI we used to go the Sakonette vinyards in Little Compton.
First white that my wife ever liked was their america's cup white. They have a few othrs (but I've forgotten their names) that we liked as well.
Not bad for a little vinyard in RI!

We enjoyed a bottle of Cycles Gladiator Syrah with a pizza last night, it was $11. Good fruit forward black cherry and peppery kinda thing, and ya gotta love the label.
Good man!
Yeah! The naked lady riding a bike wine. Had their cab with a pot roast awhile back. Good stuff.We enjoyed a bottle of Cycles Gladiator Syrah with a pizza last night, it was $11. Good fruit forward black cherry and peppery kinda thing, and ya gotta love the label.
Actually she's a nudist dirt jumper, it's one of the earliest indian airs (or no-footed can cans) ever captured.
Nude chick doing a superman seat grab. Sweet. I would drink that.We enjoyed a bottle of Cycles Gladiator Syrah with a pizza last night, it was $11. Good fruit forward black cherry and peppery kinda thing, and ya gotta love the label.
Hah, my dad bought a bottle of that for me last time I was up visiting him, just because of the label. It was pretty good, but it was worth buying even if it was bad, just for the label
Duh. That's what I meant. Really.
Unaffectionately known at our house as "2 buck upchuck". 'cept that it's 3 bucks up here in WA.
Gotta be careful of a wine that's worth less than the bottle it's in...
Barefoot always produces. There's a wine in Trader Joes rightnow from Napa that is awesome! Mondavi and Bevmo's 5cent sale make lots of wine fit that category...so many choices.
my recent picks....
Pillar Box Red-proprietary blend of shiraz, cab & merlot. this one will blow your sox off & make you never want to spend more than a J-Davis on a bottle of wine...EVER.
Garnacha de Fuego-If you believe in all that scoring crap...Bob Parker gave it a 92 & it is a $7 Spanish wine that is pleasing to the most discriminating palate.
Bitch Grenache- From the same importer (Dan Phillips of Grateful Palate fame) of Pillar Box. Not just a marketing gimmick this bitch rocks the party.
Viña Alabra Old Vine Grenache- I dont know who does Grenache better the Aussies or the Spanish, i guess it depends on if you want an old world style wine or new world. This is another Spanish 'MUST' for your list.
Trumpeter Malbec- From Argentina. Big, Brooding, Dark, Bombastic, $9...& it makes you use caps a lot for no reason.

it's kinda local, so not sure if it's available everywhere... but Montevina Barbera. Carried at all of the grocery stores here. Very very good.
I still can't believe it's under 10$.

I'm sad that we don't have a Trader Joes
