Cheap Effin' Wines, Goddamn It!

[Irish Wrist Watch 1359]

Trader Joes has this Black Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon that's about $7 a bottle. It's a great everyday wine, and the price is right. Anybody have any suggestions to compete with this. If it's over twelve bucks a bottle, clothes will need to fly off the women when consumed. Success stories appreciated.

I've had a few bottles of TJ's $5 malbec lately. It's not great. It's good for $5.

There's a food and booze forum.  Might have better success.

Have you tried CArlo Rossi?  It's like $12 a gallon.

I like the entire Bota Box catalog. After you drink one, you can recycle the cardboard as roof shingles or rudimentary clothing.

We like the Liberty Creek Cabernet Sauvignon we buy at HEB.  $6.95 or so for 1.5 L. Artificial corks, but not screw caps.

Found this site that rates some TJ wine. https://www.reversewinesnob.com

Two malbecs are mentioned in the $5-$6 range. Good reviews

Also, their Blue Fin Riesling is great... if you like sweet wines
