Need something in the $10 or less range. I realize that is not a lot so I would like suggestions for the best in the bunch. Thanks gang Sun Oct 12 15:09:33 -0700 2008 67319 apapkin 1 4100767 Everyone's wine taste is different. I happen to like Avalon for red and the Konrad Sav. blanc for while (both in the under $12 range, someone else might not like them.

I'd go to a good liquor store, check out what they have on sale, and then ask if they'll do a 20% discount on top of that if you buy a case. You should be able to get a $15 bottle for $10, so that will definitely help. I like Calvert-Woodley and Paul's (in Friendship Heights on Wisconsin) for excellent service from the wine experts.

It's a nice mix that is very drinkable for a lot of palates, and let's be honest - the name of the blend is a good conversation starter for a party. Mon Oct 13 08:44:56 -0700 2008 4100901 87249 katecm
