Budget wine thread

Moses, I agree, for me budget is around 8-12 for a bottle (which great wine can be had for), however if anyone offers to share a bottle with me, they all are budget for me

We're by no means wine connoisseurs, but the lil lady and I love us some Justin Vineyards. Normally can be found for around twenty five bucks, our local wine shop recently had it on sale for eighteen. Came home with a case of 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon.

Just for everyday slurping, our weapon of choice is Apothic Red, which can usually be found between ten and fifteen bucks.

IMO the best red for the price is Meridian Cab. When it is on sale at our local Raley's it goes for $5.99 a bottle, wonderful value. Otherwise, we like Bogle, Ravenswood Zin, Rosso from FF Capolla, and Zins from Kenwood. Many more too!

I picked up a bottle of KJ 2009 Cabernet GR recently on sale for ~$15 that I was pretty damn impressed with.

Multi quoting you tonight. We should hang out.

I agree. With my fairly limited experience (4 years being serious about wine), I find the $12-$15 range to be my sweet spot for everyday type wines.

The GR chard was pretty good. I need to try the cab now, thanks for the heads up
