A few $10 wines

[Analyst]

Hess makes good wine throughout their range; some of the Hess Collection wines are outstanding. I also like the Gloria Ferrer though am not a big fan of the Piper Sonoma. The Rancho Zabaco Zins (made by Gallo, but so what?) are good and Columbia Crest tends to be reliable as well.

Safeway, though? Even though it's nearby, their selection has been shrinking, at least at my local stores, nor are their prices very good. In SF, how about The Wine Club and/or BevMo?
