  NG, anything that is drinkable at that price is a deal.  But these days most of my inexpensive whites are Italian.  I'm a little bit done with SB.  Had some good Arneis from Giacosa (Fratelli) for about $9 recently, and you can score whites from Fiano, Falanghina and a host of native white grapes for not a ton.GregT, thanks for the info on Gypsy...

If you have a minute to help a guy out let me know what you think are the best wines that usually sell for $20 or less. Thanks ! Read More

I mean what the hell do you expect to find?How about:People, even the experts don’t know much.What is written about older vintages is a pile of steaming supposition.We are just ... Read More
