You can source CS Substance Cab for $10? That is a $18-20 bottle in my neck of the woods. Interesting. Good value (in most years) either way but still, $10 is stupid good.
Perennially good values, but Gruet NV Brut Rose ($12) and Substance Cabernet Sauvignon ($10) both performed admirably last night. The Gruet was particularly impressive.
Substance at $10 is great. Best price I see in Minneapolis is around $13. Gruet was around $11 but the mail in rebates brought it down to $8.
2018 Joel Gott California Cabernet Sauvignon. I know I’ll get killed for this reco. Nonetheless, declassified Napa Valley fruit from some very nice vineyards due to a very large crop, but also including other normal contributors from NorCal. Its my house wine and cellar defender for the moment. $12 at Safeway. Their 2019 Sauvignon Blanc was #21 on Spectators Top 100 this year.
Thanks Ben, my dad was asking for recos for inexpensive bottles at Total Wine near him, and I added that to the list with some Marietta Old Vines Red and Catena Malbec. I wish there was more there to recommend; he doesn’t get out much, it’s almost walking distance, and curbside pickup is handled quite well.
Not sure where to post this one, 2017 Omero Cellars Gamay Willamette Valley bulls at not really under 15. It’s 15 exact and available Mwcwine.com. Not sure how many bottles are left. Sold domestic gamay reminds me of a Morgan or MaV cru bojo. Probably not one to cellar, just to drink.
