I'm looking for a few good wines under $25. Particularly Zinfindel, Shiraz, or Cabs. Any suggestions?

Ceck out the "Best Wine for the Buck" thread awhile back. I like Chateau St. Jean 2001 Cab. for $20.

But seriously folks. Chateau Clos Chaumont 2000 is a Bordeaux bargain at about $14. Rich & full bodied.

Got no clue when it comes to drinking, but I did try Eye of the Storm from Sakkonet vineyards. I thought it was pretty good and reasonably priced.

For some reason, I have started to relate good reds with Australia. "Little Boomey"&"Yellowtail" both have some fine Merlots. I drank a Shiraz called "Fat Bastard" that was also excellent...all within a resonable price range. I hope that helps

Try Provenance Rutherford Cab 2002 (Napa) at around $25 a bottle.

Also try Honig Cab (Napa) at $28 a bottle.

Hey Sox, that Provenance is one super bottle of wine, way to go.
Here are some I like:

Alamos (Malbec) from Catena Wines - Argentina The Alamos line of wines - especially the Malbec is exquisite! So many of other Malbecs are musty and too over the top. This Malbec is superb!

Zenato
All I have tried thus far is their Valpolicella, but it is sensational!

Vini BIGI
Large-scale production wines from Orvieto, but available in the US, their Sangiovese - Umbria is a delight.

DeLoach Vineyards
A vineyard that never disappoints. Can be pricey, but a go-to red when you want something special - in particular the "Los Amigos Ranch" Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tommasi Wines
You can find these in the newer Publix Supermarkets in Florida and there isn't one that isn't a hit. Both Valpolicellas they offer are fantastic.

Rodney Strong, '01 Sonoma cab
Steele Mendocino Zin

For a few bucks more but worth it, try an '02 Jadot Maconnais Pouilly


Hang on tightly, let go lightly
