Good Cheap Vino

BevMo is starting their 5 cents sale. I went through all the 164 wines in the sale and I found three that might be a deal. What do you think?
1. William Hill 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon = $11.02 per bottle if you buy two, etc. The William Hill Website list this wine at $26.
2. William Hill 2006 Chardonnay $9.02 if you buy two, etc. The William Hill Website list the 2005 at $20.
3. Alderbrook 2003 Old Vine Zinfandel $8.52 a bottle if you buy two, etc. On the Alderbrook Website, the 2006 lists at $19.

Here is something interesting. The first day I looked at the website it listed the William Hill Cabernet as a 2005 vintage. The San Mateo store has only 2004 vintage. I went back to the Bevmo Website and sure enough it says 2004. I know I am right about the 2005 because I ordered some online and item list shows 2005 Cabernet. The 2004 is a very light Cabernet. It is very pleasant and smooth but not what I am looking for in a Cabernet. A better deal is the Louis Martini Cab at Costco for $10.99.

I went to the Colma store this morning. They had 0 cases left of the Wm. Hill Chardonay, and 0 cases of the Alderbrook Zin. The staff was very helpful in suggesting alternatives around the same price. I bought a case of the Wm. Hill Cab which they did have in stock and cases of Zynthesis Zinfadel from Lodi, Shiloh Chardonnay, and Kendwood 2007 Reserve Cauvignon Blanc. All these were originally listed at $20 or higher per bottle, so with the nickle sale, they averaged around $11. Haven't had a chance to try them yet, but was assured by several staff members that they were quite decent.

I got an orange muscat that I really liked. I'm blanking on the name, but there probably isn't more than one in the 5 cent sale... (this is the summer sale, which I think is still going on...)
