everyday wines

An everyday Zin (a blend of zinfandel, petite sirah, carignane) that I like is Laurel Glen's "REDS". Tasty, a 'house favorite', nicely priced. Sells around here for $8 or less.

Another red blend that I buy often is Hedges 'Columbia Valley Red', or 'CMS' (Cab, Merlot, Syrah). Delicious, and won't break the bank, goes for $9-10 here.

Both of these blends are a good introduction to the more expensive offerings from these two wineries. When the 'bottom of their ladder' offerings are this good it indicates excellent stuff available above 'em.
