Lately, my husband and I have been taking some risks with this category and finding some real gems. Here are the ones I can remember right now that are cheap ($10-and-under) but GOOD.

Yellow Tail Shiraz
Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages
Les Jamelles Merlot
Fat Bastard Shiraz
Les Bicyclettes Merlot

Yellow Tail Merlot is good too... very affordable, and drinkable! :-D
Smoking Loon makes a few good ones (Merlot, Pinot Noir) and I also like Rabbit Ridge Merlot

Barefoot Cellars - love their Zin and Shiraz most of all. $6 a bottle.

Ilyssa, I was going to also add Rabbit Ridge Zinfandel- which I love! But it's 11.99, I think. Oh well, it's on here now anyway. :D

Beringer White Zen is really nice if you like a fruity type White Zen :) Very cheap!

La Crema Pinot Noir - super excellent for the $18 (I realize it's not super cheap but it tastes like a $40-$50 wine) - This one is a favorite of mine.
FOLIE A DEUX MENAGE A TROIS RED - for only $12 very yummy, very fruity
Penefolds Australian Wine has a decent line of wine too!
Concannon Petie Sirah

Mar, I had the Lindeman's Bin 50 Merlot for the first time last night. I was VERY impressed. It just might be my favorite merlot right now!

I'm about to share my ignorance about wines, so please bear with me. My faves are:

Luna di Luna Pinot Grigio
Sutter Home White Merlot and White Zinfandel
Yellow Tail Shiraz Cabernet
Beringer White Zinfandel

Am I drinking absolute crap?? Ha! I really don't know much about wine, but they're good to me!! ;)

OK, we were stuck on the Yellow Tail Shiraz. But this weekend we found out the Merlot is pretty good, too!

When I found "Mommy's Time Out." I had to try it. I think it was around $11.00. I have only had the Rosso, but am looking forward to trying the Pinot. I just emailed them to see if I can buy a case for Christmas gifts. http://www.mommystimeout.net/page2.html

I always like Yellow Tail - anything Yellow Tail. I found a few cheap wines (really cheap) recently. And I like the Barefoot wines, too. But here are some I just found.

World Market is running a sale for a few weeks. Little Bloomey reds for 3.97. I like the Cabernet Merlot ( a bit fruitier than I really like). The Cabernet Shiraz was not good when I first had some. The next day it grew on me, so it probably needs some time to breathe. Hey, at such a cheap price it was actually pretty good. If you buy a case, you get another 10% off.

At our local grocery, I found some wines being discontinued that I like. King Fish Chardonnay & Shiraz. It's about 4.50 on sale.
