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.

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!

Yikes I opened J. Lohr 2003 by accident - great wine but would you consider 12.99 (costco) to 29.95 (wine.com) expensive.

Get a big 1.5 little bottle of Woodbridge for 8.95 (costco) and pretend... Blindfolded most people cant tell.

Hmmm...sorry, but Woodbridge gives me heartburn. For under $12 or so, I'd go for Greg Norman Shiraz/Cab ($10-11) or the 2003 Las Rocas old vine for $12 (their regular bottling is a mere $7 or so!).
