We usually have a box of merlot sitting on top of the microwave. Black Box wines aren't half bad, and as good as many of the inexpensive bottle wines at the $8-9 mark for half the price. I'm looking at you, Barefoot and Yellow Tail.

Lately we found a delicious red wine at Trader Joes, imported from Italy. I think it's really pretty good. We bought a case and would get more, but they have since sold out. Only $4 a bottle for that one.

Edit: I forgot to add, it was the Vola Sangiovese. It really tastes like a good $25 bottle of wine. Pick a bottle up if you see one. And then go back for a case when you realize how good it is.

I've revisited this thread for other reasons but find myself compelled to reply to this post. (I believe) I independently discovered this wine. It's *delicious*! I don't remember reading this post but I sure do remember this wine. Get some, a case is not overkill.

It was back in stock, and we bought another case.

I love this wine. It is so yummy (and cheap!) If they keep it in stock, then we can just pick up a case every couple months when we are there. Otherwise I feel like we should hoard it.

We found a French red like this there -L'Authentique. Also about $4. Also in and out of stock so I buy it by the case, although we don't drink wine all that often. but it's really good.
