looking for new years red

[Jerry D Mead]

Echart 1996 "Rio de Plata" Malbec (another member of the Bordeaux family of red wine grapes) from Argentina is an amazing wine for about $7. It should have national availbility.

Canyon Road 1997 "California" Merlot is a winner at about $8 frontline.

Also, if you can fimnd Stonehedge in your market, the wines are line-priced in the $10 range and both the Merlot (my favorite) and the Cabernet are excellent.
