| Wine List Description: I always finding myself challenged to find a great red for under $20. I started keeping a list and here it is. |
 |
| Seghesio Zinfandel Sonoma County |
|
 |
|
| Year in and year out, this is one of the best Californian Dry Creek Zinfandel's for an average price of $16. Its a perfect example or this style Zin with its big jammy, berries flavors, a little spice, and a complex structure. |

| E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône |
|
 |
|
| This Côtes du Rhône is produced by one of the best Rhône winemakers today, Guigal. Most wines Guigal produces are not your "every day" bottles, but Côtes du Rhône can be with an average price of $13 a bottle. If you've never had wines from Southern France, this is a perfect introduction. |

| Sebastiani Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Valley |
|
 |
|
| Its getting harder to find good Californian Cabernets below 20 bucks, but the Sebastiani Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma Valley hits the target every time. The wines offers a full bodied red with the delicious currant flavors of a napa cabernet. This wine tends not to age much, so enjoy it now or over the first few years. |

|
| Bodegas Terrazas de los Andes Malbec Mendoza Reserva |
|
 |
|
| A dynamite wine at a fantastic price. If you love those big reds from California, you are really going to enjoy this Malbec from Argentina. This wine typically offers a good balance between strong fruit flavors and a supple texture and at $15 a bottle, you should buy a case. |

|
| Casa Lapostolle Syrah Rapel Valley Cuvée Alexandre |
|
 |
|
| Consistantly a great wine from Chile. This Syrah hangs just below the $20 mark, but its worth the extra dollars for that lucious licorice taste and muscular finish. These syrahs drink best within the first years of release. |
