Costco has a great selection

ETA:

Not to derail, but how much wine do you guys drink? My wife and I are big fans, and usually drink a bottle a day (split between us).

1-2 glasses every night. Rarely, on weekends, I'll have 3. If I have anymore I get a really bad headache. It's a great way of keeping myself from becoming a drunk.

I have a nice selection of bourbon and other spirits, but I almost exclusively drink wine now.

We’re cab drinkers and will go with Josh when trying to stay in that $14-16 range

If we’re going out to eat with friends and want something a little better, Rodney Strong and Kendall Jackson are damn good in the $20-25 range... I think Kendall Jackson reserve is about $32 and it’s probably my favorite right now.

Found a Malbec last night that I really enjoyed. Gascon Reserve. It was about $30 and I only intended to have a glass when our food came out, but polished that whole thing off myself by the end of the night.

Cycles Gladiator Pinot is one

That Boom Boom Syrah mentioned earlier is really good too. Used to get the OPP Pinot for around $15 but it's jumped in price

Opened the Meritage lot 92 from Trader Joe’s this weekend. Pretty good wine for $13, let it open for a good 30 minute.

Picked up a bottle of the Petite Petit from Costco yesterday. Will open that up Wednesday and report back.

Nice find at Costco!

I also pick up Ercavio Temperanillo when I see it available there.

Yeah for under $14/bottle I’ve heard nothing but good stuff about it. Going to try to get to ALDI this week and pick up William Wright Reserve Pinot and See if I can locate the Imagery Pinot as well. With LSU coming to Vandy all my old college buddies are wanting a free place to stay and will undoubtedly get in my wine, so I’m looking for cheap but quality alternatives right now.

The Jarvis, Sinskey, Del Dotto, and Darioush stockpile is going over to the in laws wine fridge that weekend
