For a really fun group of wines you can't beat Crocodile Rock. They make a Chardonnay that is very much a summer wine with a lot of green apple and pear. Their Shiraz and Merlot are both very drinkable and they all sell for about $7 a bottle.
I recently found a great McMannis Cabernet Sauvingon 2002 for $8! I've looked for a good Cabernet that was cheap enough (under $10), full bodied, and without that metallic taste so many of them have. This one is extremely pleasant. I gave it to several of my friends for Christmas and they have all had good reviews.
You know, for a good Chilean Merlot, Concho y Toro Fronterra is excellent and cheap, about $8 for one of those huge bottles. It pairs nicely with gorgonzola cheese butter and wheat crackers.
I am unfamiliar with the rating system so I'm not realy sure how to rate these wines. However,if they are rated on a 0-100 scale, I'd rate the McMannis about 85, the Concho y Toro about 80, the Crocodile Rock Shiraz and Merlot 75-80, and the Crocodile Rock Chardonnay in the low 80's.
We would really like to hear what you have to say
