Nice wine for under $15

Many wine drinkers out there?

I live in PA and have to deal with the PA State Store system so choices are rather limited...You Cali guys gotta have some nice choices.

Right now I have a bottle of Jacob's Creek (Australia) Merlot in front of me...Nice wine. I think it was $5.99 (with a $3.00 off special)...Not bad, not bad.

 

Do you guys get 2 buck chucks in PA. I know its popular in the chicago area.

 

make sure after you finish that bottle off by yourself you post in the im drunk thread, with pics perferably

 

Yellow Tail Shiraz is a surprisingly good wine out of Australia. Also, Indaba (South Africa) makes some great inexpensive wines.

 

Did a search on PLCB site for "Charles Shaw" and got no hits...I had to Google it to see what you were talking about. Too bad we can't get it here. Sounds like it has a good rep.

 

yeah. Definitely tasty stuff for the money.

 

arbor mist from walmert!!! the blackberry merlot is actually pretty damn good!!

 

I know we get Yellow Tail here, though I haven't tried it...I'll have to give it a try. Never saw Indaba.

 

I like their Shiraz.

 

Delicious red blend. $12.

 

do you have a Costco?

hit any of the imported wines and you cant go wrong. alianico, italy - malbec -argentina, etc is simply a merlot..same grape. most of these are in the $10 range.

costco hired some pro wine guys to do their buying. they have some great stuff.

 

dark knight's choice is pretty good...and it is at Costco.

 

Brand: Andre
Flavor: Blush

Champagne is pretty damn good. 6 bucks a bottle for some great tasting champagne! You can buy it @ walmart!!

 

2 BUCK CHUCK BABY!!! just dont make the mistake and look for that, its actually called charles schwabb

 

Some stuff I keep on hand:

Menage - red table wine
7 deadly zins - zinfandel
Shilo Road - syrah
Frei Brothers - chardonnay

 

Smoking Loon has some nice sub $15 wines.

 

true..

and also, one of my favorites

Dr Loosen Riesling. Out of the several dozens of Reislings ive had, 07-08 Dr Loosen has been the best (by Far).. Can be had for anywhere from $11-$15

 

charles SHAW!

and that stuff is undrinkable...i use it for cooking.

 

If you have Trader Joe's nearby, they have a great Chianti -- Aquia d'Oro, I believe.

It's about $6, and is really good. It's even recognized with the DOCG (Italian wine governing body -- has a pink label over the neck).

I was disappointed in the Yellow Tail Shiraz. I like Australian wines, but this one was not very good. Maybe I got a bad bottle.

I was also disappointed in The Little Penguin Shiraz. I know this one was a crap wine.
