Lindemann bin 65 chardonnay is good, cheap mass-production wine.

Not much of a chardonnay fan but, hey rip I'll give it a try.

If you want to try a Pinot Grigio, Cavit is a safe choice.

damn I had already left I saw a couple of Pinot Grigio's at the store that looked interesting that I thought about trying....I wanna try a good real good one though...

I went ahead and picked up the bottle of bin 65 Lindemann Chardonnay and a bottle Beringer founders' estate shiraz, that I hope it is great because it is on clearance for 7 buckslink never been impressed at all with beringer's regular line of wines but, hopefully this one is better...its a 1999 so at least it is aged some for the price you pay anyway....

Rex & Goliath Pinot Noir. Blended is about $5 a bottle, "vintage" is around $10 a bottle. Very smooth and easy to drink red. One of the best $5 I've ever spent on a bottle of wine.

Chateu St. Jean makes a good chard. I have no idea how widely available it is in the east coast.

IF you can get it, get Landmark "Old vines" Pinot. Oh its killer.
I live in Sonama county so I dont know if this sort of thing is available on the east coast.
