Bargain Wine, aug/sep 2007 --
Sonoma Vineyards
In this regular feature,
we spotlight those wines that offer great
bang for the buck -- $15 and under, to be
exact. Here you'll find our everyday wines,
house pours, and occasionally a great new
find. Have a favorite Bargain Wine? Tell

Check out Sonoma Vineyards
- a new wine brand from Rodney Strong Vineyards.
It has kicked off with a Chardonnay and
a Merlot, both from Sonoma County, and both
priced at $15!
We think these wines are a heck of a value,
with a great-looking series of photographs
by Olaf
Beckmann adorning the labels and sleek,
fresh fruit flavors that are not encumbered
with heavy oak influence.
($15).
Quite a tasty Chardonnay at a great price,
featuring clean, juicy pineapple, citrus
and a touch of lush peach that mingle on
the fresh finish. Unoaked. Ready to drink
now.
($15).
Appealing for its plush berry flavors laced
with touches of chocolate, baking spices
and toast with a moderate, balanced finish.
Ready to drink now.

This now-fabulously-named column used to
be called Easy To Find One Figure Wines,
for reasons that we cannot currently remember
but were surely enthusiastic about at the
time. Anyhoo, check out our Past
Issue Index for more great value-priced
wine selections!
