This week I enjoyed a 2005 Cardeal Dão, a nice chewy, warming red blend from Portugal. It's a shocking bargain at $7.99 (FreshDirect/Union Square Wine).
Another favorite of mine is, of course, Malbec, this time a 2007 Crios de Susana Balbo (Mendoza). Not sure of the price on this one (I think it was a gift on the ol' wine rack), but Malbecs always seem like a good value to me. Its label says, endearingly, "This Malbec is extremely lovable and fun to be around." I'll drink to that.
L prefer light reds and I've had excellent luck with Portuguese varietals: very tasty and the price point is usually spot on!
