There's something about Chile's Cab Savs or Bordeaux blends. You'll savor this for a while as you drink it

Great chardonnay. Amazing buy. Citrusy.

red wine
screw cap wine

Price: $10.29
I was a bit taken a back by the first sip I had from this bottle, but it develops this rich almost creamy taste at some point. This is a cult hit, especially for $10
Taltarni Sauvignon Blanc 2005
Item No. 88280
white wine
screw cap wine

I drink more reds than white, but this is one of the whites that has made the list consistently
Christian Moueix Merlot 2003
Item No. 83131
red wine

Price: $12.99
One of the only Merlots on my list (well, a ton of Bordeaux blends are Merlot heavy, but I don't count them). Good for a $10 Merlot. Have it with oven-roasted steak
Folie a Deux Menage a Trois Red 2006
Item No. 92079
red wine

This is a great wine for the price. Well balanced and smooth and tastes more expensive than it is. And who can fault a name like that.
Allegrini Palazzo della Torre 2001
Item No. 82936
red wine

I bought this when it was under $20 (19.99 :) ). Different from my normal wines - feels grainier than the smoother wines I like, but it's a good change
Catena Malbec 2002
Item No. 77727
red wine

Catena Malbec is always a good buy for under $20

I have this rated as 4 out of 5 stars, but I can't really remember why. Must have been a good Pinot
Allegrini La Grola 2001

One of my favorite Italian reds. The '01 vintage was good. Tried an '00 the other day and it wasn't as great. The '04 could be worth a try based on the '01 pedigree, but it's now $26
Perrin Les Christins Vacqueras 2003

This was my introduction to Vacqueyras. Love it. Great with bbq, grilled or roasted dish.

Can't go wrong with this Cab Sav. You can find it in QFC and many other supermarkets

Price: $7.99
Found this hiding in the wine.com bargain bin. It's not bad and at $7.99 it's a good deal

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
Green Wines
Wines that use sustainable, organic and/or biodynamic practices in the vineyard and/or winemaking process. We rely on a number of U.S. and International certifications to qualify wines "green."
Collectible wine
Collectible
These wines will improve from additional bottle age, when properly stored, and may show the greatest potential to increase in value.
Great Wine Gifts
Great Wine Gifts
These selected wines make impressionable gifts for wine enthusiasts and oenophiles alike.
Boutique Wines
Boutique Wines
These wines are made in limited quantities and are typically produced from single vineyard sources or made by small, artisanal wineries. While the winery may produce larger quantities, we limit wines with this designation to a 1,000 case production.

About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
