Columbia Crest H3 Merlot tops this week’s bargain wine picks
This is another wonderful example of what the wineries in Washington are doing especially with their red wines. Napa Valley should be a little concerned that Washington can produce these outstanding wines at such reasonable prices. I wish Washington wines were distributed more widely in the S.F. Bay Area. This is a good one that certainly will attract Merlot advocates. 90 Points Continue reading

BevMo 5 Cent Sale begins anew for 2012 – Some Recommendations
The sale is currently in full swing as of the date of this post. By and large, it seems to be the same fare offered with a few additions. As usual there are many obscure labels rated by only Wilfred Wong and no other wine critic. Well, maybe I found a couple of wines that had ratings by W.S. or W.E. or somebody else.

ZAP Festival – Zinfandel favorites in the bargain category
I only included the ones that are found in many wine shops and supermarkets in the San Francisco Bay Area. I also listed the SRP for these wines, but most can be found for much less at many wine stores. Continue reading
