A few $10 wines

Picked up a few bottles of wine from Safeway to drink w/ friends/family over the holiday weekend. There have recently been a few threads asking about reasonably priced wines. Here are a few that were all $8-12 (most of these were on sale, a couple bucks cheaper than normal). Safeway also gives you an extra 10% off when you buy 6 or more bottles.

White:
hess select 2004 chardonnay
clos du bois 2004 reserve chardonnay
(Have had both of these before, both quite tasty)

Red
hess select 2002 syrah
clos du bois 2002 shiraz
(Haven't tried either of these yet)

Champagne/Sparkling Wine
gloria ferrer brut
piper sonoma brut
(Both of these are very good, incredible values)

Please post a trip report after you drink the Clos du Bois shiraz. After having their 2001 reserve cabernet, I'm anxious to hear if this one can compare. Especially for such a cheap price.

Damn i could'av used this thread on wednsday. I was wandering around the liquor store with no idea what is a decent cheap wine. I ended up with a couple of bottles of Black Opal.

We served this at our wedding. It's excellent for the price.

I can vouch that this is an extremely good wine for the price.
