Hi Kristin, and welcome to the Wine Board. I would recommend Rosemount Estate (Diamond Label) Shiraz, Estate Bottle ($106.11 the case); and Cave de Lugny, Macon Lugny, Chardonnay, "Les Charmes" ($90.81 the case).

Hi, Kristen, welcome to the board and congrats to your sister. You're looking for wines that will average $8 per bottle, including state sales tax and after a 10% case discount. Candidates that might work for you inlcude:
- Blackstone Merlot "California" label (R)
- Michel Lynch Bordeaux Blanc (W)
- Tommasi Pinot Grigio (W)
- Thierry & Guy "Fat Bastard" Shiraz (R)

There are many others. Suggest you do your wine shopping in Austin, rather than Georgetown, to take advantage of its larger market. Or, if you happen to visit San Antonio, go to "Wines Best Buy" on W. Rhapsody, on the north central side of town.

Well, if you're heading down to Austin, you might want to check out The Cellar at 3520-B Bee Caves Rd. Speak with Rob Moshein.
