The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now

I'm always on the lookout for good wines at a fair value. Ok so maybe cheap wines that taste expensive. Anyway, are there wines that you've had recently that you would consider a terrific value for the price? I personally enjoy the merlot and chardonnay from Clos du Bois which both cost about $14 in New Hampshire. To relax with a glass of either and listen to my music (classical and jazz) does make the early evening sit pleasingly well.

Nilthepill,
The Smoking Loon Merlots and Cabs (2002) are currently going for a steal at 7.01/bottle. Buy as many as you can at this price as they cellar well too. Woo wooo wooo COUGH woo woo...

The other night, I had a glass of something called Three Thieves Zinfandel at a restaurant in Chicago. I loved it. Anybody had this stuff?

Three Thieves Zinfandel '03 (1 LTR)
Price: $9.99

87 PTS WILFRED WONG. Too cute a package? Not, if the wine is this good; the '03 Three Thieves offers zesty, fresh raspberry flavors and a soft palate; perfect with grilled hamburgers and guacamole.

NICE PICK FOR $10! Surely not restaurant pricing!?

No, $7 a glass, and I think something like $40 for the litre.

I would describe it as majorly quaffable. :-)

Anything by Newton. Their 2000 unfiltered "Claret" is a fabulous deal!
