Today I thought I do a different kind of wine o. wednesday post. With Christmas just 3 days away pocket books are probably on the pretty lean side right about now, I don’t want you to think that means you have to forgo the wine this holiday season (as if anyone would really do that?).
After being lovingly scolded by Beau & Melanie for confessing that I do like Barefoot wines, I decided to ask my Twitter friends to tell me their favorite wines under $10 so you won’t break the bank stocking your bar and here are the suggestions I got:
Suggestions I have tried:
Jason (closed his twitter account) suggests the Yellow Tail Cabernet or Shiraz
Sarah (@SarahBoswell) Menage a Trois (the red blend) mainly because of the name, just don’t take it to a dinner party with your parents!
Tiffany (@apiphany) Robert Mondavi Merlot but suggests letting it breath a bit.
Debbie (closed her twitter account) Mark West Pinot Noir, she says this is a delicious wine
Kimberly (@kizzlethizzle) is not a wine fan, YET, but suggested Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill because it takes her back to high school.
Suggestions I haven’t tried, yet:
Beau (@UCBeau) had a few suggestions: 2007 Folie a Deux Amador County Zin & the 2007 Teague Vineyards 2007 San Benito Cabernet
Whitney (@WhitforBrit) Lucky Duck Cabernet to share with her man from across the pond; be sure to check out their fairytale!
Sara (@PolitoSara) Rex Goliath Merlot or Cabernet
Citimaven (@citimaven) says that the Antano Rioja is a great everyday wine.
Misty (@MSFJones) prefers whites and suggests: Barefoot Moscato, Beringer White Zinfandel & Moscato and Pacific Rim Riesling
Lynn (@lynnsherwood) Altos Las Hormigas Malbec, this is the wine they keep on hand at their house.
Monica (@FabOCGirl) suggests Volteo Tempranillo & for those of you with access, Trader Joe’s VINTJ’s Pinot Gris.
James (@JFTxWine) first became a wine fan because of the Banrock Station Merlot and Cabernet/Shiraz blend.
Jennifer (@txgourmetmom) Llano Chenin Blanc besides it being a Texas wine, she says it is cheap, refreshing and sweet. She always keeps 2 bottles on hand in her fridge.
Cheers & Happy Holidays!
