Trader Joe's "Two buck Chuck" (Charles Shaw) is not too bad. Great deal for 2 bones.

 

[vi edit]

The reislings by Fetzer and Turning Leaf are good, cheap wines. Around $5-$7 a bottle.

Honig Sauvignon Blanc is good. I had the 2002, which was quite nice.

Try a Riesling. perhaps a 1999 Maximin Grünhäuser Riesling. I enjoyed this a lot too. or try a Maximin Grünhäuser Riesling Kabinett.

both are well under $40. maybe u can get two.

or maybe a nice Icewine (Eiswein if u get a german one).

you should definately get the brand called Yellow Tail it is made in Australia, either their white/red wine are both good, it is featured in the latest issue of consumer reports for the best tasting wine and it costs less than $8/bottle.

I just love the stuff from William Hill Winery in Napa Valley.. Try their 1999/2000 Cabernet Sauvignon. Most exellent rich mature taste. Just awesome with meats. Let it 'roll around' your tounge and experience an explosion of taste. It can be had for <$20.
Daumn I almost need to change underwear now.
