How Low Can You Go?
February 4, 2006
When it comes to cheap wine, Josh Wesson advises avoiding bottles more than three years old. "Age is not a virtue with cheap wine," he says. So just how low can you go? You won't go wrong with these picks from Josh priced well under $10.
- Chuck Shaw's Shiraz from Trader Joe's for about $3 a bottle. Skip the Merlot, Cabernet and Chardonnay.
- La Boca Chardonnay from Argentina is fresh, yummy, and also about $3 at Trader Joe's.
- Casa Solar Tempranillo from Spain for about $6. Get the youngest possible (2003 should be available).
- Viumanent, a wonderful Malbec from Argentina.
- Willow Glen non-vintage tawny port from Australia. About $6
- Barefoot Bubbly, a non-vintage sparkling wine from California, is one happy glass of fizz.
