Open thread: What's your favorite inexpensive wine?
As many readers of The Randy Report (and listeners of The Candi & Randy Show) know, I like wine.
I don't over-indulge but after realizing a shift to wine from liquor and beer made a difference in my inclination for gout, I moved to wine some years ago and don't have any gout issues any more.
So I'm always looking for a good, inexpensive wine. A deal. A secret folks don't know.
For instance, a staple for me is Kendall Jackson's Vintner Reserve Chardonnay. I think it's a good wine and if you look for a deal you can find it for under $10 a bottle. With about 5 glasses of wine to a normal 750ml bottle, that's $2 a glass. Whoo-hoo!
Now I know there are lots of inexpensive wines out there that fall under the, cough, cough, "cheap" category. I'm not interested in those.
So comment below: what's your secret label or vineyard you think is a deal? It can be red or white. It can be over $10. I'm just looking for really good values in Randy Report readers opinions.
Thanks for participating!

You are not going to believe this, but Fresh and Easy has a $2 Chardonnay that is the best kept secret!
ReplyDeleteReally? Do you have the name of the wine? :)
ReplyDeleteThere is one available in the midwest and I think I saw it when I was in Colorado, called Crane Lake.. It retails for about $4 a bottle or a little more. The chardonnay, though chemically aged has undergone an alomost complete malo-lactic fermentation and is quite smooth when chilled... @ $4 a bottle, A REAL find!
