Bonanza always a favorite. Total wine had them for less than $20

Austin Hope winery called”harvester” white and orange label. I thought it was legit

Don Melchor. Chilean cab. Absolute baller and elite cab. 120, would be 200+ if it was from Napa.

You can also get Angelica Zapata cab also from chile for only around 45, and it’s really damn good. Almost as good.

You can get both at TW.

My wife went to Napa last month and came back with a bunch of bottles. We had this cab the other night and it was really good.

Good time to ask me that question. I spent last week exploring the Bordeaux region of France.

We had dinner at Chateau Kirwan one night and they served us their flagship wine. If I had to pick one that stands out, it would probably be that one.

Big fan of what Mogen David is doing these days. I think they use the same varietal across their 20/20 line, but each “blend” has a different flavor profile.

Austin Hope is my go to. They have a lower tier called Austin and I enjoy that too for the price point.

After reading the posts Iam drinking some Bonanza. A good wine for the price. A little young tasting and so say more sugar than a lot but alot better than other $20-$30 bottles. It’s a no-vintage blend of different cabs but for those of us who aren’t snobs and like not being ripped off but also like a good wine, this is something worth having again. I’d say a 6 in scale of 0-10.

To return the favor I had some Franks Family Cab last weeKen that was real good. And I think I say it for about 2x the price of Bonanza and at $45 a bittke I’d say that was an 8.5.

I drink too much to spend so much on small bottles. Think cheap, drink cheap.

If you are a Costco member try one of the Kirkland Signature cabs. I've had a few that were decent and were less than $20.

One of my favorites that's cheap is Wines of Substance "CS". Washington State wine.

Why would anyone drink Cab after February? Heathens.
