I don't want to present this like a cancer cure but these McMannis things have a ton of character for few $$. The Cab runs anout $7 and catually TASTES LIKE CAB. It has those dark-fruit notes, tar, coffee, chocolate, and cassis but with less intensity than a more serious ($) Cab. It's immensely drinkable, though, and the Merlot and Syrah are quite nice also. I found it first at Trader Joe's and they seem to have bought most of it but look around and see if you can find it. It's worth your bux.

If it's at Trader Joe's I doubt anyone will find it anywhere, at least under that name. The same wine could show up under a different label, since most of those wines are produced bulk and sold to the best buyer. The best part: under a different label, the same wine could cost more or less.

The above applies if the label includes either "cellared and bottled by" or "vinted and bottled by."
