Suggestions for $25 and Under of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Merlot

[Drew]

...and if you don't mind an Austalian blend, Cabernet and Shiraz, the '98 Penfolds 389 was just released and is selling here in Maryland for $24. The '98 Bridgeman merlot from Washington is very good for around $15. '97 Rutherford Ranch Cabernet ($14). Any of the Gallo single vynd. wines, Barrelli, Frei, Stefani can usually be found under $25 and are good deals. Also look to Oz (Australia). The '98 vintage is great. Rosemount "Traditional", Rosemount G.S.M., Rosemount "Hill of Gold" Cab and Shiraz, Pirramimma Shiraz, Peter Lehmann's Barossa Cab and Shiraz, A.D.W. Shiraz, Greg Norman Cab/Merlot and his Limestone Coast Shiraz are all $20 or less and I would love to receive as gifts!
