Bargain Wine Hunters – New Year’s Resolutions
Improve your smeller
First get into your spice cabinet and smell every spice. When you eat a piece of fruit, smell it and keep it locked into your memory bank. When you see a flower, smell it. If you really want to get serious, buy a smelling kit. Check Amazon for these. Continue reading
Buehler Vineyards – Two red wines top our bargain wine picks of the week.
John Buehler, Jr. and his family are committed to producing excellent wines but keeping prices affordable. Because they have been in the Napa Valley so long, the cost of their operations is not as high as most wineries. Kudos to Buehler Vineyards for keeping their wine prices in check. These two wines could easily sell for more. Continue reading
Mumm Napa: Three Sparkling Wines to Cheer the Holidays

We always enjoy a glass of sparkling wine as an aperitif throughout the year. Continue reading

Top Ten Bargain Red Wines of 2011 as selected by the Vintage Wine Tasters
We take a look back on the bargain red wines we recommended and pick our ten best. The big requirement for the wine to make the Top Ten is that it must still be available widely in the San Francisco area. What’s the use of listing a bunch of wines that no one can buy at a local wine shop or store?

Tramin Pinot Grigio from Alto Adige – Bargain Wine of the Week
This wine has been very popular and highly rated over the past few years and it is well deserved. There is a good amount of this wine available at various stores but Costco in Redwood City seems to have the best deal at $9.99. At BevMo it is $11.99, at Wine.com it is $12.99. Continue reading
A Bible for Bargain Wine Hunters – New Book by George M. Taber
George writes: “Good $10 bottles are available from all over the world. Critics and consultants, who recommend what wines people should drink, rarely talk or write about them. It’s the greatest story never told.” Continue reading
