Hit me!

Feel free to follow this format

Name: Belle Ambience
Price (roughly): $9
Why: Deep fruity notes of red berries, cherries and a little vanilla dolce at the end. A perfect way to wind down and relax in the evening after a long hard day at work.

I totally saw this in the wine specialist across the road from me. By what you said I'm thinking I should pop over and buy it now before its gone

Columbia Crest H3 (Horse Heaven Hills) Cabernet Sauvignon.
$10.90 a bottle at Costco
This wine has more 90pt Wine Spectator scores than any bottle I know of costing twice as much.

It's amazing to me how much good wine is under $20 now (in the last 5 years). I remember when a 90+ wine immediately went to $30+ overnight.

There is only 1 ... just a tad over $20 unless on sale.

I can vouch for the Ghost Pines - excellent Cab. I can get it for 19.99.

Edna Valley is another one that I've enjoyed over the years. Usually around $12 or $13. It was my 'house red' for a while (before I started making wine).

Thanks so much everyone for these contributions, my plan is to get through each and every one. Ghost Pines has some fantastic wine, I recently tried their Zin an it was a treat. Reached out to them to say i'd be writing about them in the magazine I work for and they said they'd send me a tasting of the portfolio... love it when wineries do that, shows that they are thankful you are showing them some love so they give it back in return!

Deffo going to look into all of these folks... keep em coming!!!
