Definitely with you on the woodbridge pick Cj, I like the Mondavi select cab a lot, but I think it is like $30 at least so probably not a good pick for "cheap" but since they make the woodbridge label, it is def. a good choice.

Fetzer makes decent everyday table wines across the board. Best value is the liter bottles for about 12-15 bucks. Also, Woodbridge Pinor Noir is decent vin ordinaire table wine $13 the liter.

Well, it's hard cider in the main - possibly a malt liquor. I agree it's not wine.

But I can't manage too much wine snobbery over this issue as I am myself a person that prefers cheap wines and expensive champagnes for no particular reason.

I also enjoy umbrella drinks...and my preferred bar drink is a Cosmo.

I am barely even a man...

Speaking of lounge culture - I have a world reknowned collection of Martin Denny vinyl. I'm talking that I have both Augie Colon LPs in my private collection.

Wow! Thanks for all the replies! I like Kendall Jackson Chardonnay also...it's good. Just not as inexpensive as I would like.

I really enjoy myself some Kendall Jackson as well! But I usually end up with the Yellow Tail Chardonnay... I love it! And less than ten bucks, I couldn't ask for anything better.

I'll have to get some. I seem to remember that I didn't enjoy it as much as the smoothness of my Kendall and my Honig though.
(but the price...)

Do you prefer red or white wine (I won't go into the rosé debate)? For me, it typically depends on the season (the hotter it gets, the less likely it is I will go for red) but I have found that whilst you can get away with cheapish for red, a white has to be relatively pricey for it to be quaffable. I love crispiness, and have discovered Chili makes some rather nice whites.

I guess one could call me a wine snob, too. used to drink a bit of Zinfandel (NOT the blush junk) but I'm partial to Pinot Noir now for reds. There are some that are perfectly drinkable for under, say, $15 or so; I just can't recognize them as Pinot Noirs. Never been much for Merlots except for some Pomerols. Enjoy good Riesling, except it's impossible to find them in GA. Don't like over-oaked chards or cabs, which are most Cali and OZs. Quite a few Rhones are pretty good.

I could go on for pages, but I'll refrain.

kitt, I agree with you that, usually, a quaffable, as you say, white is not inexpensive. *ponders a memorable Monrachet* However, I'm of the opinion that champagne goes with many things (thinking gumbo here ), and, please, spare me the argument that "real" champagne comes only from that region of France. I will concede that point, nevertheless, some decent, inexpenssive bublies are produced elsewhere.

Lushy and I were chatting the other day about 'pagne and it turns out she is a fan of a place in Chicago, as I am , called "Pops" (isn't that just daaaarling ?). They feature champagens by the glass, good food and live jazz. Don't miss it when in Chi. Lushy, who knows her wine, told me of an inexpensive bubbly made by Gruet in New Mexico, of all places. She says that the grapes are grown on one particular slope where the soil and conditions are perfect. I will let y'all know when I've popped a bottle myself.

Also, some good, inexpensive ,wines are coming from New Zealand, Pinor Noir, in particular.

mmm mmm mmm..I want some Pouilly Fuisse now damn it! Ohhh and some Vueve Clicquot, that is my favorite bubbly. Even with pizza it is delicious. Of course it is pricey, but sometimes you just have to splurge.

Cj there is a little foodie boutique here called Market Basket and they sell these adorable little splits of champage in colorful little bottles and the label is "Pops". It is really tasty. I wonder if it is the same one? Either way it is so good;)

For whites I think cakebread cellars is very nice. Not cheap, but not crazy high.

: Ears perk up. Did some one say Vueve Cliquot?
Yes please and some chocolate covered strawberries to go with it.

At work one night a guy comes and sits in my section in the restaurant with loads of bags full of liquor. He told me he is in training to b e a sommelier. His best pick for an inexpensive red wine was the Merlot from a new company called Gray Fox. They are out of California. He said the reason the wine was cheap in price, (under ten bucks) is because the company is new. I bought loads of it since and no one has complained about it.

Mmmmm Veuve Cliquot...sigh... good times...
