This idea was discussed in a previous thread, but I do not think it ever got started....so I am starting it.
As much as I would love to drink only Silver Creek, Cakebread or Nickel & Nickel, I love my under $30 wines. Put your suggestions here. |

Menage a trois - $8 at Costco
Dancing Bull Cab and Zin - between 7-10 at Meijer Dynamite Zin - $9 most places I've seen it Bogle Cab - $10 7 deadly zins - $10 at Costco I think these are all really good bangs for the buck.

Not sure what your point is or how it would relate to this thread?

Cause the line has to be drawn somewhere. I drink expensive beer, and smoke expensive cigars. I don't consider myself a wino, so why should I bother with 'good' wine? |

Wow!! I totally see where you are going.......however I smoke great cigars 2x a week, wine is a little different. One cigar last about an hour and a bottle of wine only has Three glasses which is easly done in one sitting/daily.

Drink what you like, smoke what you like, ride what you like. It's all preference, Coke vs. Pepsi, Ford vs. Chevy. Just because someone like "premium" cigars doesn't mean they have to drink expensive wines.

Calm down gang. It is, unfortunately, common for some to stomp all over a thread that they deem inferior or something like that. Those people come and go and those who have been here for a while learn that not every post in a thread will be wanted or appreciated. The more you feed their ego by drawing attention to their games, the longer they will stay. Just as it is good sense to ignore the loud mouth at the bar and let the management deal with them, so it is here.

Chill, Chip. If you ignore the bears instead of poking them, maybe they will go elsewhere. And if not, so what?
I work in a wineshop, and we have some expensive stuff on the shelves . . . where most of it has been for a loooong time, and where it may likely stay for an even longer time. Even if you discount the fact that the vast majority of people cannot afford $100-$500 for a single bottle of wine, most of those who may have the financial resources do not see the point of it. Why should they spend that much when they may not be able to distinguish the difference anyway? It is relatively easy to find a good bottle of wine in excess of the $30 price point Chip proposed. But it is just as easy to find good ones under that, and when you do it is more fun, more gratifying, and more fiscally responsible. Me, I'm much more pleased when I find a drinkable bottle for $10 than I would be were it twice . . . or 10 times . . . that price. This post is full of my ![]() ![]() |

![]() ![]() Here is my contribution: http://www.vino100.com/ 100 great wines for $25.00 or less! I have one of these stores in my town. I have found it a great place to shop around and not spend a ton of money. They also have tastings so I can try the wine so I know what to spend my money on. Check out their site, even if you don't have a store near you.
