A few $10 wines

[Steel Aces]

If you are looking for decent sub-$10 wines and you have a Trader Joes around, try the Charles Shaw aka "Two Buck Chuck". Only sold at Trader Joe's, the price is now $2.99. The Shiraz and Cab's are decent for the price. Merlot is crap.

I usually buy them by the case, so I always have some around. My wife doesn't drink red wine, so I will crack open a bottle sometimes when I just feel like a glass or two, then I don't feel guilty if the rest goes to waste.
