Sainsburys Lambrussco Light Bianca. Its LOVELY

I had two of the most amazingly inexpensive wines last night. One was a Robert Mondavi "Solaire" Cab 2005 which I think is a limited production; but on wine-searcher there were tons of listings and it's only like 12.99.

The other was a Bonny Doon "le Posseur" 2005 Syrah, which is about 9.99. I never would have thought that Bonny Doon would make a wine as good as this. So those of you who love big bold wines these are perfect. The syrah is a bit lighter in body, but the flavor is huge.

You can almost always reast assured that $13 bottles of wine are not "limited production". That it is a "Centtral Coast" wine also argues against limits.

You don't like Bonny Doon wines?

The "limited production" note was actually on the wine list at the restaurant where I had this delicious wine. I guess that's their way of trying to boost sales

As far as Bonny Doon wines, I've never really had any others. I guess I've always had an unconfirmed prejudice so to speak.

Bonny Doon produces several medium priced high value wines.

The 9.99 you paid for "Le Posseur" is actually a very good price.

Bonny Doon was one of the original "Rhone Rangers", breaking away from Cabernet Sauvignon and merlot and producing wines from non-traditional California grapes.

Yellow Tail Shiraz/Cabernet blend (purple label), $8.99.

Charles Shaw aka Two-Buck Chuck, available at Trader Joe's! Nice Cab and Merlot....

I'm not really a wine drinker so I haven't had half the ones mentioned on this list. I do prefer white wine over red. I like Reisling Relaxing (think I spelled it right). It has a hint of fruit in it.

R. H. Phillips, Night Harvest is a very good Chardonnay.

My husband and i enjoy Lou Lou B...$7.99 Anyone else tried that one? Also like Red Truck and that also under $10...
