Well we are always looking for a great wine to drink that does not break the bank. We call it the best under 10 we can find. We even have an exchange program with a dear friend in California. We are always trying to out do each other with who can find the best red, white or bubbly under $10 bucks. It is time to share our top ten picks!!!!!!
#10 Casilla del Diablo, Carmenere 2005, Argentina
- nice fruit, good depth great with grilled meats about 9 bucks
#9 Hatdog, Cabernet 2005, Central valley Chile
- nice fruit, strawberry, blackberry great with chocolate, pizza and burgers about 8 bucks
#8 Yalumba, Wild Ferment Chardonnay, 2005, Eden, Valley, Australia
- crisp light style with lots of fruit notes - wonderful on a hot day - a patio wine 9 bucks
#7 Wakefield Shiraz/ Cab, Promise land, Australia, 2004
- 64% Shiraz/ 36% Cab - this wine has lots of bright cherry with nice depth - goes well with steak, steak fish cost about $10
#6 Gran Feudo, 70% Tempranio, %25% Grenacha, 5% Cabernet, Navarra, Spain
- very lush , easy drink with or without food, well balanced for a wine costing about 9 bucks
#5 Yard Dog, blend of Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet, Australia
- jammy with nice fruit notes, raspberry, currant a good stand by for 8 bucks
#4 Kenwood, Red Table Wine, this is what they bottle when the crop is not good enough for either the Artist Series or the vineyard label, We win a great wine with lots of fruit, depth but very drinkable and for about 7 bucks - wow!
#3 Raw Power, Shiraz - Australia - punk rocker turned wine maker , this wine is all jammy shiraz with great structure for pairing with roasted meat, pizza or burger or even by itself - a go to wine for about 8 bucks
#2 Pillar Box Red, Australia, blended red - a consistent go to for wonderful shiraz and cabernet notes, with the rounding out of 8% merlot making this wine full of fruit with depth that can stand up to big bold flavors of food or provide a supple sipper by itself about 10 bucks
#1 St Hilaire Limoux Blanc de blanc, vintage 2005, France's first sparkling wine, this is the most wonderful find - it drinks like a bubbly at 3 times the price - for only 9 bucks a bottle we buy it by case and everyday is a celebration!
So get out and hunt down a few of these tasty wines to have with dinner or just enjoy with friends. As Linda always says "find a wine you like, that suits your tastes and enjoy it". Happy sipping!
