But - For a good wine at a good price, you can't go wrong with (Washington State's) Columbia Crest Grand Estates - whether it be their Cabernet, Merlot, or Chardonnay. All are under $10, and are rated in the high-80's/low 90's by Wine Spectator.
Those in the wine biz always laugh about the Wine Spectator's ratings...if they bottle the spit bucket 'schlock' and say it's an 85 or higher...it's sure to sell. It's sort of a quazi fake rating scale set up by large bottling companies mainly. The wise trust their own taste buds only.
