Wine- looking for everyday drinkers at a lower price...

Hi All,

So I fell into that trap of slowly upping my price point on wine, and generally the wines that I have been drinking recently are very enjoyable, however I am trying to scale it back in terms of the everyday bottle cost.

I typically prefer Cabs from Napa, and have recently enjoyed Spellwine for under $20 (through Lot18) and Mount Veedner Cab at around $25...these have crept into the everyday bottle range, and $60-$100 for special wines. I am looking for something around $10-15 a bottle on the Cab side that is great value - any ideas here?

I also enjoy Chardonnay, and have always found those to be more reasonable, and able to find a decent enough one for $10 or less, Cupcake Chard is an example of a great cheaper option (I just need the Cab version of it, which isn't the Cupcake Cab unfortunately).

Any little gems out there that I should keep an eye out for?

Cheers,

Matt
