I "discovered" the all-time favorite wine..
Bell Sera Cabernet also their Merlot.
It's only 10.99/1.5L besides.
Is this considered a fairly good wine by anyone else?

I honestly don't know what it's like. I can say that if you like it that's all that matters!

No. But as we've said many times, enjoy what you want to enjoy, not what others tell you.

willp58, is the Bell Sera Cabernet a light smooth tasting wine?

For what it's worth Bella Sera fans, in their cover story on Italian Whites, Wine Spectator gave the Chardonnay a score of 83 and the Pinot Grigio an 82.
Also for even more information, Bella Sera is Gallo Brothers first tier of Italian Wines, and Ecco Domani is their second tier. The Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio got an 83.
I have recently found that they are adding toasted oak sawdust in at least small quantities to all their Italian Whites during fermentation (it is filtered out afterwards). Therefore, I avoid them.
