Bargain
Wine -- Red Rock Merlot
In this regular feature,
we spotlight those wines that offer great
bang for the buck -- $15 and under, to be
exact. Here you'll find our everyday wines,
house pours, and occasionally a great new
find. Have a favorite Bargain Wine? Tell
us about it!
 This
issue's Bargain Wine features just one selection
- it's that good. And at just $12 a pop,
it's a perfect choice for big summertime
gatherings -- barbecues, pool parties, whatever.
New to the retail world, the
($12) is yet another Gallo label - and a
winner. Plush and offering very nice complexity
at this price point, with concentrated,
medium-bodied blackberry and raspberry fruit
layered with touches of cedar, anise and
other brown spices and toast that linger
on the finish. Nicely done. Ready to drink
now.
Plus, there's tons of the stuff available
(100,000 cases, to be exact), so stock up!
Locate
this wine online or in your area.
This now-fabulously-named column used to
be called Easy To Find One Figure Wines,
for reasons that we cannot currently remember
but were surely enthusiastic about at the
time. Anyhoo, check out our Past
Issue Index for more great value-priced
wine selections!
