Red Tail Shiraz is pretty damn good. It's an Aussie wine and is cheap.

Not all the picks are red wines but there's quite a few in the link below from wine spectator. You can also go to wine.com and check out their top rated wines that are under $20.Wine Spectator Picks under $15

please never chime in on a wine thread ever againokay, OP lemme try to help u out. If I were you, I'd increase my price range to being up to 30 as there are some real quality reds in the 20-30 range that you would miss out onas far as shiraz/syrah, I'd go with a greg norman estates limestone coast shiraz. really good and very affordable. Penfolds makes some really good shiraz's too and are in the 20-30 range. pinot noir- kim crawford is usually a very tasty one that is affordable. Though I really prefer the 2004 over the 2005. that is about it in the price range that is good value that I can think of. france- I am a big bordeaux fan, and you can find some good values there, but you will have to do a lot of experimenting as there are a lot of small labels. Generally try to avoid 2002 for all of french reds because that was a very wet summer and led to a generally weak harvest. YOu can find a fair amount of decent rhones in your price range, namely look for chateanuf-du-pape, its a solid winery and even their lower grade wines are solid

J. Lohr Cabernet is quite good and i believe it is $12 a bottle

[Nikki_N 17]

When it comes to wine, compared to Keith, I know nothing, and usually take my wine recommendations from him. I do have one I like pretty well though for about 11 dollars a bottle (I think). It is Rex-Goliath California Pinot Noir.

i agree with this. In general its hard to find good cabernets for under $40o yea, OP, check out Argyle Pinot Noir, I'm pretty sure its in the under 30 range

That's a good one - you can get it at Safeway when they have it on sale for around $7 (excellent value)

The best Cabernet I have drank that was under $30 wasTURNBULL 03'The 02 is ok, 01 is solid, but the 03' cannot be touched. It might be hard to find though. Other than that its kind of a tossup because there is so much to consider when picking a redwine. What do you prefer, shiraz, cabernet, pinot noir, syrah?And if you say zinfindel quit drinking wine

Pinot Noir for me for red.Chardonnay for white. Though the Matua Sauv. Blanc that Keith likes is fantastic.

okay, OP lemme try to help u out.

Thanks, K Dawg. If you have any more suggestions for affordable wine, feel free to post them here. I enjoy wine but know next to nothing about it.

Im gonna have to disagree. There are plenty of great cabernets in the 10 - 20 AUS$ range (7 - 15 US$).Prices in america might be a bit different to here in Oz though.

Look dude...A great wine...and it's only $12 or so...Casillero del Diablo (Cabernet Sauvignon)Great red.

[mk 11]

And if you say zinfandel quit drinking wine

nothin wrong with a good zin. red, not white, mind you. imo, one of the best under $15, easily accessible bottles you can buy is a ravenswood zin.also, this is probably the best $12 bottle i've ever tasted: http://www.normanvineyards.com/html/2003_z...del_classic.htmi bought a case at a tasting last year.

4 bucks.

For Cab's, I agree that the J. Lohr is a great wine under 20.Estancia also is very good.As for Shiraz, the Mad Fish Shiraz (Aussie) was on the wine spectator's list and I really love that one. We had it at Stoney River (Their recommendation) and I then had the local store order some. Think it's around $15 here (Nashville), but it's a great wine.Spend $45 at Costco or Sam's and you can pick up a Jordan Cab which is one of the big boys, but may not be worth it just yet.Take the $15 you were going to spend, play no limit party poker .10/.25 for 1 hour and then spend that $45 on the Jordan.Or play me heads up and in 5 minutes you'll have whatever amount you need.(just realized I'm a rookie..the sucker at the table).

Smoking Loon Shiraz is the best stuff ever for under $20 a bottle. I don't know how widely-distributed it is but we have it hear in Richmond. Shiraz, Syrah, Petit Syrah, etc. If you want to be diversified in your tastes, I would suggest not drinking these, because if you get hooked, that's it. No more merlot, CS, etc.. Mmmm....
