We're big wine drinkers in my house. And always on the quest for a great under $10 bottle...I don't consider myself super knowledgable, but I have tried a lot of wine, and I keep track of what I enjoy.
I highly reccomend downloading the Vivino app. It's a great way not only to get reviews on wine right as you're in the store, but it also helps you keep track of what you've tried (and liked or not)
Currently, here's a few easy to find and inexpensive bottles we've really liked.
La Vielle Firme (super inexpensive french red, great with dinner or just sipping. Rather light, maybe not for like a big steak dinner, but holds up to pretty much anything else)
Louis Jadot Beajoulais (another lightish but dry French red)
"Josh" Cabernet Sauvignon ( I think our favorite inexpensive cab)
"Josh" also makes a great Rose. All Rose's are NOT WHITE ZINFANDEL!!!
"Butter" Chardonnay (A good white for those who don't think they like whites)
Wente "Morning Fog" Chardonnay (another great inexpensive Chard)
And if you're looking for a NOT cheap special bottle, The Brunello de Montalcno (2004) is a wonderful Tuscan red that just...it's just perfect. And it's still not ridiculously expensive ($50-$60)
