Pete Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I like a Syrah or Cab with steak. Hess makes an awesome Cab- it runs about $17 I beleive though.
stevestojan Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I like Lambrusco. But Im young and stupid. But it is really tasty.
Pete Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Rabbit Ridge makes a delicious affordable Syrah. I beleive that is around $10. Wheres Olivier when you need him? He knows his wines!
VABills Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Chateau St Jean makes some great "cheap" wines. They are primarily out of Sonoma Valley. They make an excellant Pinot Noir, which should do okay with you steak. Theirs Cab's are average and their Merlots which also would be good with steak, are great.
mead107 Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 yellow tail or alice white both good . i like the merlots and other reds.little penguin is good .
Dan Gross Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I really like the Viansa wines. Not really available in stores though, so it has to be shipped (extra $$). Bought a bunch for Christmas. http://www.viansa.com/
Richmond_Bills Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I have been drinking wine the last 2 Sundays, so being superstitious, I will continue. As someone had mentioned, Yellow Tail is a good cheap wine (only had the merlot). I am actually a big fan of Red Zinfandels. Don't confuse with White (pink) Zinfandel. There is a brand called Ravenswood that is excellent and is typically under $10 per bottle. Let us know how it turns out.

Kevbeau Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Asti No. 8 Merlot, about $14 a bottle. Everyone I've introduced to this wine loves it.
HtownBillsFan Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Bully Hill makes some really good, cheap red wine. Dont know if where you are you can get it, but its a try! Banty Red, mmmm!

Austrailian winery, good merlot and shiraz, although I'm not a big fan of their blend. around $8 a bottle $13 for a magnum.
PJBrown Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Take a ride on the NIGHTRAIN!!!! Choo Choo!!!!! It got me through college....
KD in CA Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Well, nobody has a good red wine in the $5 - $10 range because they don't exist. In general, you get what you pay for in wine. $10 - $15 you can find some decent bottles. Try a cab or merlot from here, available in any liquor store: http://www.beaulieuvineyard.com/wines/

Golden Wheels Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Check out the California brand called Smoking Loon. (No it's not owned by Ricky Williams.) Decently priced syrah, merlots. etc. Smoking Loon If you're REALLY on a budget there is Charles Shaw aka "Two-buck Chuck". It's available at Trader Joe's in certain states: Two-buck Chuck
ch19079 Posted December 3, 2004 Author Posted December 3, 2004 "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -- John Stuart Mill by far the best quote ive seen on here. I tip my wine glass to you good sir, i just hope i can find a good wine to put in it first.
