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.

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. :-)

Villa Mt. Eden - Tall Trees Cab. - Same as above
