<p>Brancott Estate is good and is typically in that price range. </p>
<p>Thanks ivvcsf. I placed an order this morning, and included that one. I used the totalwine.com site, and it’s only 8.99
I went through and picked a bunch of sav blancs from 8.99 to 14.99. </p>
<p>H and I were in Spain this summer. Nothing like going in a grocery and picking up a bottle of red for 1.5-2 euros. Cheaper than water and very tasty.</p>
<p>Pennsylvania is NOT a good state for wine lovers. I have been comparing prices and our prices are usually higher than what you all quote here. Plus the whole, “gotta go to a separate store” inconvenience. I would love to buy wine at Costco or Trader Joes!</p>
<p>We are partial to Bogle chardonnay here and in the summers I like Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio.</p>
<p>Glad you liked the Apothic Dark, shellz. I’m sipping a glass right now! It’s probably the cheapest, best wine I’ve found so far. </p>
<p>@busdriver11 ran out of dark…drinking “regular”. Happy camper ;-)</p>
<p>Im a “red gal” so have no idea on what to gift our T-giving hosts who are “white drinkers”. Price is no object… Well, maybe it is, but certainly a 20-30 dollar bottle would be fine. Ideas?</p>
<p>ETA: wife ordered a Chardonnay when we went out to dinner with them, so that might be a good starting point.</p>
<p>You an get a very nice malbec in that range. </p>
<p>Really, give those white wine drinkers a malbec. They shouldn’t be drinking that white crap anyways! 
</p>
<p>We always seem to have success serving the pinot grigio’s. Not too sweet, not too dry, goes down easy. I find the wine stewards at QFC very helpful.</p>
<p>or a pinot noir. Nothing too heavy.</p>
<p>I think it’s a vanity issue…reds stain the teeth :-)</p>
<p>It’s true, they do stain. And that Apothic Dark is really dark, and leaves more of a stain than most. So I admit, I only drink it at home and with close friends. I do avoid drinking red when I’m with a lot of people, or people whom I don’t know (and don’t want them to know the slob I really am). But I can barely choke down white wine, so a good amber beer it is.</p>
<p>Willamette Valley Pinot Gris or Dr Loosen Eroica Riesling would be my two top choices for a drinkable white.</p>

<p>that reisling must be sweet. would think a drier wine might be better</p>
<p>I’m not a white afficianado so please fill me in…what’s closest to a Chardonnay? </p>
<p>umm… a chardonnay :)</p>
<p>Lol @jym626 I left that door wideeeee open, didn’t I? I guess I was asking how Pinot Grigio and Rieslings compare to Chardonnays ;-)</p>
<p>Dr Loosen makes dry Rieslings. That’s why I recommended it. That said, if the wife likes chards, here is an absolutely marvelous one:</p>

<p>It smells like a rose garden and is very smooth. </p>
<p>you could consider a voignier or semillon</p>
<p>Thx BB. Adding it to the list. Hoping BevMo or local wine shop might carry it </p>
