cheap doesn't necessarily mean "bad" ....& our local warehouse wine seller always has a "clearance bin" where you can get a $50 bottle for say, 19.95...

I am really loving the Barefoot wines, particularly the pinot grigio and riesling. I have found the pinot in mini bottles, which is especially nice if I just want a generous serving and not half a bottle. Barefoot wines are really cheap and really good.

Barefoot does good stuff for the money!

But a riesling can have high residual sugar, and those kinds of wine tend to make me a little headachey. Maybe iz jus' me.

Having a smokey scotch at the moment. 'night!

I don't like sweet rieslings...partly because of that. Hubby has one he likes that ALWAYS gives me a headache. The barefoot one is pretty dry. I like Blue Fish's dry riesling, too.

Those are just fine. Try some of the Fisheye wines in the box...some aren't too bad, especially if you just need a blast.

My favorite box wine is the Hardy's Stamp of Australia Riesling. I should buy that, again. The mini bottles of Barefoot are nice, but relatively expensive.

This is REALLY good:

Admittedly, I bought it for the cute label, but the contents of the bottle are excellent. I think retail was $10, but it was on sale for $8. Yum!
