    Hey all!

    I thought I'd start a post(since we all are bargain hunters) about wine(because I really drink a lot of it after a day of trading). I'm curious to know what are your recommendations on wine under $15/bottle. I'll throw a few out there to get things started.

    J. Vidal Fleury Cotes Du Rhone....excellent ~$9
    Santa Carolina Blend Cab/Merot....drinkable ~$7/magnum
    Estancia Pinot Noir...very good...~$13
    George Du Bouef Beugulais Nuveau...~$8...goes with anything

    Would love to hear other recommendations.

    Make your own. The kits are simple and it tastes at least as good as anything store bought. Less than $1.50/bottle
     
  3. Boones farm
    (recommend strawberry hill)
     
  4. How about MD 20/20?

    Several flavors available.

    Priced right, fits even the most frugal customer's budget.

    Strawberry Hill is classic!!!! I think I met my wife getting buzzed on Strawberry Hill...unfortunately, it doesn't have enough alcohol to get her to take her clothes off so I prefer a stronger drink!!!

  6. I am second place in my fraternity for md 40 chugg.. I can down one in under 14 seconds. Never drink the green flavor. Orange is the best I guess.

    My parents made their own wine when I was a kid. Rose, grape, apple, plum, strawberry, raspberry, etc, etc. The worst was dandelion. That stuff was so dry, it would make your teeth grow!!! Most of it is still in the cellar. We broke open a bottle of mixed berry (?) last X-Mas, and the stuff was thick like syrup, but still very good. Berry Dessert Wine, circa 1975.

    Must be 200 bottles still down there!
