Best wine under $10? red or white.

WalMart $1.97 White Wine

 

And lest we forget their fine selection of boxed wines. A must for the descrerning palet...and the perfect addition to any wine cellar.

 

Charles Shaw... oh wait, you said "best" and not "cheapest..."

 

Dang it, I didn't read best, I just read cheapest. Never tried WalMart wine

 

2 Buck Chuck FTW! I buy it by the case, the Cab and Shiraz ain't bad. The rest is just eh...

 

Just as Idaho is famous for potatoes; Washington - apples; Georgia - peaches... varietal grapes are most prolific in Geographical regions.

Look to the Grape, then the region which produces it in the best of all worlds; quantity with even quality.

This will set the price at a low benchmark, while the quality remains at a high benchmark;

For example;

Cabernet Franc- Washington, New York
Carmenere - Chile - through 5 centuries, phylloxera has never touched Chile.
Grenache + Syrah - Cotes du Rhone Villages AOC - France - stunning volume, fantastic quaff, year after blessed year.
Pinotage - South Africa
Sangiovese - Italy
Shiraz - Australia
Tempranillo - Spain
Zinfandel - California

With time, you will find what you and your friends like. Since it is a given that wimmenfolk will demand Blush Zinfandel and Chardonnay, let them bring it as an offering to you, you Bacchanalian, you.

 

Terrior, Wax. The French call it Terrior.

Right now I'm a big fan of the Amberton 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon. Whole Foods has had a special on it, normally $12, right now $5 a bottle!

 

i've been enjoyng barefoot moscato lately. around $6.00.

 

That's terroir to you, you, you terroirist!

Didn't want to confuse Ed... yet.

 

Isn't that an annoying little dog?

As to a palatable wine under $10, I've found most years of Rosemount Grenache-Shiraz blends to be fairly decent.

 

2006 Ten Mile The broken Road. A nice full bodied Red. A blend of Petite sirah, Zin, Barbera and Carignane.

Go to Costco. They have reviews next to some of the wines.

 

+1 Costco is a great place to buy wine. I believe they are the number one retailer of wine in the country. They sell a ton of juice cheap.

I bought a bottle of the Luzon (mourvedre-syrah blend) in there for a mere $6.89 and it was very nice. My friend mentioned that there is 10-year old tempranillo over there right now for $7.99 that I will probably pick up today.

 

Cellar No. 8 Cabernet - about $11 per bottle. Pretty good.

 

Ive been drinking rex goliath cab and liberty school cab with burgers lately. i like the liberty school a little better. Both around $10

 

Liberty is a very bold Cab, which I enjoy, and a great wine for the price. I first tasted it an N'Tini's and after the meal I walked right next door and picked up a few bottles to take home.

 

The 2 Buck Chuck is actually pretty good for what you pay for... I would say it's the best of the cheapest

 

It tastes like sawdust and turpentine. I can't drink it. It may be good for the college kids who want to get drunk, if they can drink enough of it before getting sick.

 

I would say it's the cheapest of the cheapest.

The Costco suggestion is a pretty good one, if they have what you're looking for.

 

Mouton Cadet. Do a search here for it. There is another thread that asks the same question.

I just did a wine tasting of about 20 wines. My favorite was the cheapest at $8.99.

Monte Antico Toscana IGT 2006

Another favorite was the R Wines Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia "Darby and Joan" 2008

My favorite white of the tasting was Albert Bichot Bourgogne "Vielles Vignes" 2006

 

I found the liberty school receipt. It was $15. Saw it at a restaurant tonight at $23. They love to mark wine up, not as bad as the Ritz-Carlton charging $110 for a bottle of $8.00 Antinori Santa Christina.

 

Menage a Trois is a decent cheap wine. Cool name too...
