It's very rare that I would recommend a wine that I haven't tried, but each year at this time Wellington Vineyards in Sonoma makes a wine called "The Duke" they sell for $8 a bottle or so. It's even less to club members.

I love their wines, just never been around when this was available for tasting, so I have not personally had it. And of course, depending on where you are, shipping can kill you on it.

Again, I have no personal knowledge of this wine, I'm assuming it's a blend they do of what's left in a few barrels so they have space to put the new harvest, but do love everything else I've ever had of theirs.

It's only available direct from them, and it goes fast.

I don't know if that's because it's good or because it's inexpensive or perhaps both.
