I can get Educated Guess for under $20 and can drink that all day.


Sonoma just doesn't stand up to the NAPA EG, worth the extra coin for the pricier stuff

Why is there not a wine thread like the bourbon one?


1000% this. We need a wine thread.

If you can find it, this is by far the single best wine under $20




This is a another great one

I see the Bila-Haut at Costco every time I go. I'll pick one up next time I'm in there and give it a try. IIRC it's listed under $15.

We did it for a while until it fell off. Surprised we don't have enough nightly wine drinkers for it to survive.

I drank a 17 Pali Wine Co. Huntington Pinot last night. I don't drink a lot of pinot these days but it was enjoyable for 25 bucks.

Only on my radar because I stopped in Pali's San Diego tasting room last year and enjoyed it.

I’ll do my part. Taking the night off tonight but tomorrow I’ve got a tri-tip I’ll be pairing with a bottle of 8 years in the desert.

Boucaner (Syrah/Pinot Noir Blend)

I agree. I like it a lot.

Have you tried their white blend?


This is the other wine that I picked up besides some of the ones previously listed. It feels good to be validated.

Did not know they made a white blend - will have to check it out.

Dang that's a great price

Btw, for those who aren't familiar with the Odd Lot I mentioned in the OP, it's hard to tell it apart from the Michael David Petite Petit when you taste them side by side. The grapes are from different areas (Monterey for Odd Lot, and I believe Lodi for Michael David) but the wines are very similar quality wise. I can usually find the Odd Lot for a dollar or two cheaper, which is why I chose it instead of the Petite Petit for the OP, but I love both wines.

Same here. I opened the Sweetwater Ranch Cab from Levendi last night. Very good for the price.

The Michael David? Damnit, my Costco membership is expired (I never go) but this might be worth renewing.

It was as good as advertised. That winery pumps out some good vino apparently. I'm going to try the Stagecoach and the Howell Mountain cabs now.

I picked up the 2015 Pure Cru for tonight.
