Look out for the Benegas Estirpe line of wines....

Juan Benegas Malbec
Clara Benegas Chardonnay
Luna Benegas Cabernet

By the case, you should be able to get them for around $12 a pop.....

This is my favorite red wine under $2. I have found that it is effective in killing ants. Especially the Merlot.

I've started to buy a Gabutti 5 litre bottle. Their Tempranillo and Malbec are both decent. For 55 pesos it's great value for everyday drinking.

Typical reaction from a wine seller whenever low profit margins are mentioned.

Agreed! Also try H3's Les Chevaux Red Wine - my fav of the batch.

This week I stumbled across 14 Hands Hot to Trot Red Blend, Columbia Valley 2010. On sale in my area for $6.99. Very nice IMO for the price.

Kirkland--Yes, Kirkland (Costco brand)
Kirkland (Costco brand) meritage is just delicious. Yes, I was skeptical as well myself, thinking, "ain't no way I'm going to buy Kirkland wine." But I saw the CNBC special on Costco and how they have basically put an amazing amount of energy and effort in the Kirkland wine production. I bought a botttle for $10.99, and I must say that i am very impressed.

I have drunk some pretty "good" wines in my life, including 1994 Harlan Estate, 1982 Lafite, 2000 Margaux, 1994 Caymus Reserve, 1995 Ducru Beaucaillou, 2000 Latour, and a bunch of other "premium" wines I'm forgetting so I'm not a box-wine drinking kind of guy.

But I must say Kirkland meritage--for the money--is actually pretty good!


My two cents about other 'cheap wines'

Yellow tail is: the stuff is pretty disgusting. Sorry.

Charles Shaw: barely drinkable. I'd probably take it over Yellow tail though.

Bogle: just barely above Charles Shaw--still better than yellow tail.

Chateau St. Michell cab & merlot--really good. A very nice wine for the money.

Beaujolais: I find most of them are, "you get what you pay for."

Interesting -- I've been interested in trying more meritages and I'll def give it a try. I'm not a Costco member but fortunately under MN law the liquor stores are separate and open to the public. I've breezed through their store in the past but didn't spot anything I wanted to buy.

I think my 2 favorites in this category are Coppola Roso and Hot to Trot by 14 hands.

Great topic. Keep them coming.
