Best red wine under $20?

Since she wanted merlot, and everyone here is inclined to tell her Italian. Why not give her the names of some of the Italian Merlots IK has been drinking and Foodie has been selling. Danielle, if you check under both the Italian and Merlot threads you should find the info you're looking for. Look back like 100 days. That should do it.

And, on a side note, You did mention Chardonnay (which is a white wine). If you want a chard under 20 that will knock you're socks off, find the Rosemount Orange Vineyard Chardonnay. It should be pretty readily available in most wine shops that carry a good line of Rosemount. Its wonderful drink, and probably quite different from many of the California ones you've been drinking.
