Where I live, Cost Plus has a pinot grigio called Pinot Evil that sells for $5.99 that's actually pretty good.

Oyster Bay Sauvingnon Blanc, NZ... can be had for under $9-10 on sale, outstanding SB

Geyser Peak Sauv. Blanc is another, more grassy SB that can be had for about $6-7 on sale.

It was mentioned before, but Chateau St. Michelle Reisling is very good for the price, and if you want to go big, their Erocia Reisling is very good, it can be had for about $18-19.

Locally here in Sacramento we get this brand called Forestville, which is equivelant to a 2buck chuck. The Sauv Blanc can be had for $1.99 on sale and is very nice as a weekday drinking wine. Pour some for friends, and they will never know how cheap it is... trust me I do it all the time

Chateau St. Jean Chardonnay is pretty good if you like oak usually right at the edge of your budget at $9.99, but all around they are a solid winery.

These are all pretty common brands that can be had pretty much everywhere. I am sort of at a loss right now, but if I think of anything else I will post it up.

had some polka dot Riesling sweet(they have 2, one is sweet, the other one is dry), it was delicious for under $10.

Another thought from me: Pacific Rim makes good whites. Bonterra and Hogue too.

Red wine is excellent, but I don't drink white. Yellow Tale is a consistently decent cheap wine.

Yeah... Yellow Tail and Sutter Home are usually safe bets for cheaper wine. That said, I like Barefoot wines better!

The Sutter Home wines I've tried have not been good. I also haven't liked any of the Barefoot wines I've tried.

From personal experience, my general opinion is that going from a $4-$5 bottle to an $8-$10 bottle almost always gets you better wine, but going up from there, doesn't necessarily get you a better wine.

I'm with you on this one, although I've only had Sutter Home reds. Better to spend a little more to get something more palatable.
