- Auburnwine - 09-25-2002 A number of novice queries involve the search for decent, inexpensive, readily available wines. Here is a beginning list of some reds that might meet those criteria. Anyone care to comment or to suggest some whites as another topic? Fetzer 1999 Syrah California Valley Oaks Bogle 2000 Merlot California Bogle 1999 Petite Sirah California Bogle 2000 Zinfandel California Old Vine Rosemount 2001 Shiraz-Cabernet South Eastern Australia Columbia Crest 1999 Merlot-Cabernet Columbia Valley Columbia Crest 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley Columbia Crest 1999 Merlot Columbia Valley Grand Estates Villa Mt Eden 1999 Pinot Noir - dananne - 09-25-2002 I think this is a good and useful topic for folks.
