LauraGB Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) The Naked Grape Pinot Noir - not very pinot noir-y, really (there really must be other grapes in there), but a really great, light table wine, especially for those of you who are on the fence about red wines. It's light and packed with berry flavors, but not terribly sweet. It's from California, it's cheap (mine was about $7), and it's lovely. Worked well with my veggie lovers pizza and raw vegetables for dinner tonight, and it was a great sipper before-hand. Just an FYI :). Anyone have a "best kept secret" sort of wine to share? PS - I've also been enjoying some of the Middle Sister red wines. The Rebel Red fun and full, and the pinot noir is rich and enjoyable (but a blend of about 90/10).

Prairie~Phlox Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I really likE Oliver Wines. They are from Indiana though, so pretty easy to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the middle sister in my family, so the other two occasionally buy this for me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Our very favorite cheap red right now (runs about $7 also) is Menage a Trois. It tastes so much more expensive than it costs. It says $12 here, but we've always gotten it considerably cheaper http://www.folieadeux.com/mat/red.html I like this thread! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mejane Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Cupcake cabernet sauvignon. $10, but tastes more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually available here for between $8-$9. Definitely a favorite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Cupcake cabernet sauvignon. $10, but tastes more expensive. You mentioned this one on another thread recently. I had this one and the Naked Grape in my hands today (and I stood there for a long while trying to decide). Will definitely be trying it next.

Alenee Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I recently found Gato Negro Merlot, $7 for the big bottle. I don't like wines that are too dry or that make me pucker when I drink them. This one is mild, not too sweet, but not dry and bitter either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebug42 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I am not much of a wine drinker but I enjoy this one with red sauce Italian food. I linked a blog here. I didn't write it but agree with much that is said. http://antiwinesnob.com/2008/02/20/red/bolla-valpolicella/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Cupcake cabernet sauvignon. $10, but tastes more expensive. Oh my. :thumbup: Fruity with just enough oakiness to give it a fullness and edge. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
