I love wine! I like Chardonnay the best and a few red blends. I can't drink cheap wine though. I usually drink Kendall Jackson, Simi, Sonoma Cutrer, Cakebread or Cupcake (for a cheaper one). K. J and Cupcake are not expensive, and they are about $10 to $12. I have tried to drink cheaper wine, but I just don't like it. I love the K.J. higher end one--that's about $22 (their Grand Reserve).

I won't routinely pay much over $20 for a bottle of wine. The ones I buy most frequently are Simi, K.J. and Sonoma Cutrer (which is a bit higher).

I do like Cupcake Red Blend, and that's only $10.

DH will drink $3 or $4 a bottle red. I just can't do it.

When you fine one though for around ten$ you love, it's always a find! We love to go to Napa and have done the private tours which are really fun, and you Learn so much and have such an opportunity to try some really wonderful selections!

Hi Fifi I'm a bit of a wine snob too, LOL, but the Cupcake Chard and the Cupcake Red Blend are really not too bad. I can't do penguin though--ugggh. I have tried the cheaper wines, and I can't stand them.

Have you tried the K.J. Grand Reserve? That's one of my favs for only $22 or so.
