Girlfriend and I go though a decent amount of Cabs and Pinot Noirs. We’ve tried quite a few different options but looking to hear about some other options.

Some of our regulars include:

Meiomi (Cab and Pinoit)
Prisoner (Cab or Blend)
Joel Gott Cab
Bonanza Cab
Z Alexander Cab (surprisingly good for the $$)
Pinot Project
Decoy Cab
Troublemaker Red Blend
LaCrema Pinot
Unshackled Cab

Other similar suggestions?

I usually buy 5 or 6 bottles every time I go to Sam's. Pretty good for the the price.

Do you have a Costco membership? That's where I buy my daily drinkers.

I like the Cycles Gladiator Pinot Noir for less than $10

$45 is not an everyday for us.
There are a lot of good ones in the Kirkland label around $10 that suit us for everyday.

I do love the Prisoner blend and the Austin Hope cab.

Agreed...should have mentioned that Prisoner (or similar priced bottle) isn’t really an everyday option. It’s the one in my mentions out of the $10-$20 range.

That’s interesting. I’ve never tried Bogle and the grocery store I go to has huge displays every week of the Cabernet. I’ll have to try.

I didn’t notice that Prisoner in the list. Yeah, definitely not like the others. Good stuff though.

Austin Hope cab.


Just to really piss you off, it's $25/bottle at wholesale. I have a co-worker that let's me order through her husband's restaurant every so often. That's the best deal of all time.
I get bottles of Quilt for $18. Belle Glos is either $20 or $25. Can't remember.

Troublemaker is an Austin Hope blend and at $14 is a good value.

It is the best cheap wine. Easily as good as many $25 or so bottles.

Anything Bogle.

Substance CS
You can find a ton of good cheap Tempranillos at most grocery stores

I will say that the worst wine I've ever had was the Austin Hope Cab in the $20 range lat night. Stay away

Bread and Butter Cab is great for 11-13 dollars.

The $8.99 Parducci Pinot from Costco is a solid buy

Other labels thar are cheap off the top of my head - Mascota, Carmen, J Lohr. The only Pinot I can think of is Willamette's Whole Cluster but that's still around $20. I get worried when buying cheap Pinot so I usually stay away from it.
