Default Know any good wines at a low price

As with guitars there are some amazing wine values at low prices.

I love expensive wine, but alas I never buy it.
I have a guitar habit I must support.

At just $4.99 both of these are a steal at Trader Joe's.
If there's no Trader Joe's near you, you need to move.

What are your best wine values?

This treasure was only $2.99 at Trader Joe's.
It was only available for a short time at mine, but maybe your TJs still has it.
After one sip I drove back and grabbed their two last cases.

IIRC the vintage was 2016 or 17, not the 2013 in the pic.

+1 Trader Joes....and the values change every time I visit the store. But my new find is a company called Grocery Outlet. They buy up vintages on the cusp and mark'em down. Found some great wines

Nothing wrong with rich folks recognizing a good value.
Poor folks can splurge on $$$$$$ wine once in a while too.

Always remember to hold the bottle properly-----right in the middle, so it doesn't slip out of the brown bag!

My local wine store used to carry this for $12, but stopped. Was sorry to see it go.

I'm fortunate to live close to Napa and Sonoma California vineyards. If you feel like splurging, there is a winery -Turkovich (Winters Ca)- that has an excellent Graciano (along with many others) just released

We buy Estancia chardonnay and Mark West pinot noir, mostly.

I shop hard, and when I factor in sales, gas discounts, and mail-in rebates, I can usually get both at around $9 per bottle.

I don't have any sort of refined tastes. I'm not high class; I consider myself "white trash with ambition." This helps explain my tastes in wine, and I like stuff on the sweeter side.

Duplin Hatteras Red - $8
Duplin Sweet Muscadine - $8
Duplin Scuppernong - $8

These are available just about anywhere.
