LOVE this show, I always find enjoyment in finding great wine for under 10 to 15 dollars, I like to call them “gems”

OWW YA…I am rocking one of the “old school” wrist bands.

QOTD: A wine called Canyon Oaks, don’t remember the vintage?? nice stuff for around $10 bones.

2005 Red Rock Merlot $9.99, really balanced merlot. Great for anything.

QOTD – The last reasonable under 10$ bottle of wine I had was the Don Miguel Gascon Mendoza Malbec. It was $9.99..I didn’t take notes, however I remember a nice chocolate / Moca on the nose and a tad of mineral in the mouth.. I remember enjoying it. It was probable 3 weeks or so back. I agree with “dz’s” comment about Carignan. The Chateau La Baume – Costieres De Nimes 05′. $8.98 – From Wine Library.. Yum…

QOTD: Yalumba Y Series Viognier.

The best under $10 wines are most enjoyable when tasted with low expectations. They are like that independent movie or local band that you discover and think are great, but if someone else hyped them to you, wouldn’t seem so fabulous.

I don’t like the idea of rating a wine higher just because it’s cheaper, or for that matter, rating an expensive wine more harshly. Wines should be judged on their merits at face value, not respective of price, don’t you think?

about a year ago i was in portugal for a family reunion and they had a vinho verde there which i loved so much, i found it in one of the markets the next day…2006 ponte da barca – what boggled my mind was the price: 1.98 euro!

Gary- QOTD: Have not had a Loureiro yet……………You know me, I LOVE to try new wines….. !!! 🙂

QOTD: For me, has to be the Toso 2006 Malbec, the Paul Hobbs influence shines through. And at 9 bones it is definitely “lights out”.

Loved your James T reference, been watching him since the beginning of his career; what a fighter, what a character, definitely old-school.

We have had multiple 2005 Bordeaux from Trader Joe’s under $10 that have been phenomenal.

QOTD: Grand Veneur 2006 Cotes du Rhone Rose – I embraced the pink stuff and loved it!

Love to episodes with wines I can afford on my quasi-college-kid-crew salary. QOTD: I have a case of a riesling by Fess Parker which is 10 bones a bottle and solid

Gary- YOU are TOO funny!!!! 🙂

Gary, come March 31, 2009 (my 21st birthday) I will be happy to apply as your host (or assistant host?) for Israeli wines, if you’ll take my application. Seriously.

QOTD: One of the best under 10 bones is the Portuguese Douro Altano. This comes from the Symington Family Estates. The ’03 was great, and the ’05 is drinking beautifully, right now! It’s addictive!!

Torre Oria Gran Riserva Tempranillo 1994, on closeout for 8.99,
i am crying that I only got 4

And I have to agree with Hugh, does Dr Jay know any numbers other than 90 94 and 100?

Covey Run Dry Riesling around $8 and very nice.

Santa Digna cabernet sauvignon rose 2006

Baron De Ona Reserva Tempranillo 1997 – had it with dinner tonight… but I guess the bottle is more than $10… the glass was less than $10…

Yikes… I don’t do well shopping for wines that are less than $10 per bottle…

Nice episode. I’m obsessed with finding good wines under $10. My recent favorite is the 2005 Silver Lake Cabernet-Merlot.

7.99 Canadian (I think this is the only under 10 wine I ever drank)

Altos Bornada

Good Deal

JB

QOTD: 2006 Chateau la Grave Pardot, Bordeaux. picked up a case at auction for about $8 a bottle (Australian). Really nice and solid!

QOTD: My favorite wine under $10 is the 2005 Las Rocas de San Alejandro Garnacha

Most recent under $10 wine I had that was enjoyable was the 2006 Catena Alamos Malbec.

My all time favorite under $10 wine was the Covey Run “Barrel Select” Merlot. They no longer make that line of wines and it is a complete shame.

Grenacha de fuego, the fruit was real.
