For sure.

That stuff was all the rage when I returned home from the service [Revolutionary War]. We used to buy it by the case. For variety, would mix it with Budweiser. It was many years before I knew what a corkscrew was.

One of the Coppala wines is around $10 and it's pretty good

Mrs Oldtiger and I were married while I was in the service at Fort Bragg NC.....nothing like a good plastic glass of Boones Farm while watching Dark Shadows at lunch.

Busters Liquors abd Wines

TruTigerrr...

that place is GREAT...if i don't buy at buster's, i buy there. but you have to be willing to swap brands often - they don't keep the same brands of wine at the same price for long.

Sure, if you like huge headaches the next day. :sick:

They make wine that goes in bottles ?



My wine comes in a box. Franzia Sunset Blush, or Vella or Franzia White Zinfindel.

Mad Dog 20/20

The wine comes in several flavors, including Banana Red, Blue Raspberry (with the exclusive Bling Bling label), Buck Bunny, Key Lime Pie, Kiwi Lemon, Lemon Ice, Orange Jubilee, Peaches and Cream, Red Grape Wine, Spiked Melon, Strawberry Cream, Strawberry Kiwi, Sour Apple, Tangerine Dream, White Lightning, and Purple Rain. MD 20/20 has an alcohol content that varies by flavor from 13.5% to 18% (with most of the 18% varieties discontinued, although Red Grape is widely available from the 18% category).

This is weird. I just drove home from the Central Coast of CA yesterday. On the way, I passed through dozens of vineyards on Route 46 around Paso Robles. I didn't know they grew wine there. I thought the vineyards were closer to Santa Barbara. The biggest was Merridean (sp?). Wine tasting signs up and down the highway. Felt like 'Sideways' What a beautiful area.

As for inexpensive wines, Clos du Bois (sp?) is pretty good if you like Chardonay.

Best cab I ever had was Duckhorn. It's under 10 bucks if you stuff it in your pants and have a friend around for a decoy. While you're at it grab a bottle of Cakebread.

Cakebread, Liberty School, and Dynamite are some of my favorite labels but they usually fall around the $15 to $18 for a 750ml

One my wife has been enjoying as a general "keep in the fridge for a glass of dinner wine" is Foxhorn Pinot Grigio
A mag is around $6 or $7. I had a glass the other night and it's pretty tasty especially for the price.

Actually, boxed wines have taken a bad rap in the past. There are more than a few winemakers now that are starting to use boxes instead of bottles. Because of the constant positive seal on a box "spigot" the wine will keep it's flavor/aroma longer than in a traditional bottle. I know in the liquor store near my house they have no fewer than 6 different brands.

Now, maybe we should change the thread to best wine under $4? If only there were a Trader Joe's around so I could get me some Two Buck Chuck!

Went to the store next to Costco today at lunch...they have the kind of tequila I get for pretty cheap, so I looked around at their wine while I was there:

Penfold's brands for 6.99/bottle
Barefoot brands for 4.99/bottle
Crane Lake brands for 3.99/bottle.
They also had a 1/5 of Malibu run for 11.99...

and, I got the Lindeman's at Buster's yesterday for 4.99/bottle as well.

homefry20 Wrote:For those of you who like reds I would highly recommend the Root 1 Cabernet from Chile. Full bodied with a lot of cherry flavor. $13. Another light bodied red for around that price would be te Gnarly Head Zinfandel (This is a red Zin, not white or blush.) Its an old vine Zin witha smooth taste and a nice finish. $11.

As for a white, I would go with the Kim Crawford Marlborough (AUS) Sauvignon Blanc. Nice and dry as are most from Aussie but easy to drink as well. $13.

I'm really glad you made this post. Kim Crawford was a wine I've been trying to remember since I had it last year. I was on vacation in CA and there was a small Vons grocery store that had it on display in their wine section. I asked one of the employees what he would suggested and he said all the locals were always asking for it. Great wine.

I asked my wife if she could remember the name. I said to her it was some wine from Australia with a womens name like Karen or Cathy. It was driving us both nuts. I highly recommend this one too. Now I can ask for it here in town.
