Under $10 California Wine recommendations

[Barry]

https://i.imgur.com/Bgq7L.jpgMrs. Wacco and I are busily preparing for our wedding in September :inlove:. One of the more pleasant parts of that is choosing a wine. However, another part of our preparation, namely our diet (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/showthread.php?87664-What-s-your-favorite-diet&p=148050#post148050), is getting in the way of that (it restricts our alcohol intake).

So I wonder if you could help (especially after seeing all the helpful suggestions being offered on the current wedding venue thread (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/showthread.php?91524-West-County-Garden-Wedding-Venue&p=154852)). :wink:

We're looking for California wines under $10/bottle, with an attractive label. It doesn't need to be organic, although that's a big plus. We've got the champagne covered (Korbel (https://www.korbel.com/)), but you're welcome to suggest one for other's benefit.

Please include where the wine can be purchased (and don't fear if it's Trader Joes, or even, gasp, Costco! :cower:)

Thanks and Cheers!

One of my favorites under $10 is Gnarly Head Old Vine zin, which can be bought at (another gasp) CVS for $8.99 if you get 6 or more bottles. Another good value zin is TJ's Harvest Moon (also from the Lodi area) which is only $4.99. Congratulations on your wedding.

Hi Barry,

I personally LOVE the very inexpensive organic red wines from TJs ($3.99-$5.99). I personally prefer the word "organic" on the label to an attractive label, but you may be able to have both. My personal favorite right now is "Green Fin"--pinot noir or cabernet sauvignon. Yea, probably not the most attractive label. And I admittedly don't know much about wine. But I know what I like. I also like Bonterra wines-- more expensive, but organic and a more attractive label.There's also Fetzer "sustainably farmed" on the label, but not organic. They're about $5.99 at TJs.

Best wishes with your selections. And congratulations to you both!
