Steller Wines for $10 - $15.

So we come to the conclusion that when you're kicking back multiple
bottles a week, you can't be ballin' too hard. Here are 4 wines under
15 dollars that will not see too often but can be found with some work
at Cost Plus or Bev Mo.


Liberty School Paso Robles Cab: Very well balanced wine. Very very
smooth, sweet and even. Good for a bottle to take over to a friends
for dinner where there is going to be a number of people drinking.
Will cater to a large audience. This wine does the things it does
very very good, and will be an instant hit. This is usually the first
wine I like to introduce to those that are occasional wine drinkers.
Always a winner.

Twenty Bench California Cab: Also very well balanced. A lot more bolder
then the Liberty School. This is the kind of wine you would graduate to
drinking for something like a Liberty School. Expect a bolder, heavier flavor.
Very good stuff.

Seriously Good Wine Co.Stag's Leap District Cab: A new wine that we
came across (as Rich mentioned before) Well balanced, but does take a
little time to open up. Finishes up with a strong flavor, and does
have a very slight bit. This wine will go over well with those wine
drinkers that are a little more experienced. Stag's Leap is a very
coveted wine region/appellation in Napa, and this is definitely the
best bang for your buck in that class. This wine is very Napa. This
wine will do well over time.

6th Sense Syrah. A totally different wine. Very deep and very
fruity. Very good wine to throw into the mix, especially with those
that like a deep wine with out much of the bark and bite that come
with most cabs. Very artisan, just look for the cheesy label.

The Show Cab: A very different cab. This is a good bottle for that
experienced wine snob, but still very cultish. Very complicated
flavors, lots of flavor with a nice oaky bite. Grapes from the central
and north coast of California, produced by 3 veteran winemakers. I
personally think this bottle will get a lot better over time. Can be
a little much at first, but I think there will be a lot of potential.

You can't go wrong with these wines. Guaranteed enjoyment.
