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.

I'll second the Bogle Petite Sirah (long time favorite of mine) as well as the Cline Ancient Vines Mourvedre. I've found a couple decent inexpensive Pinot Noirs - Gloria Ferrer (I've found on sale at my local grocery store for $16 plus the 10% six pack discount + $10 off coupon for every $100 I spend there) and Edna Valley ($14 on sale plus the discounts).

I have several 2005 Beaujolais Nouveau's tha were quite tasty, although I was actually unimpressed with the Georges Debouef.

Also recently had a Whitehall Lane Merlot that was only $20 at Costco that I'd recommend as well.

I'm putting my hard earned $3 into two-buck-chuck. For a little more, try Coppola's Claret at about $14. And for a little more than that, try Duckhorn's cab!!!

Don't know if anyone's mentioned Rabid Red? $13.99 and darned good if properly decanted.

I am very new to drinking wine, but my favorite so far is Zaca Mesa 2002 Z Cuvée. It has more complexity than most wines the <20 price range and avoids the sweet and fruity taste that I do not prefer.
