Cardiff Cellars $4.99
Excellent Values from California
These are really amazing wine values and perfectly balanced so they'll pair up with just about anything from the kitch. Cardiff wines are crowd pleasers, perfect for a large group, big family party, corporate event, etc.. Sometimes cheap wine just tastes cheap. These offer amazing quality at an affordable price and we think they're the best values around town. Check out what Sauce Magazine had to say...

Sauce Magazine on Cardiff Cellars
"Lots of super-cheap juice (remember, our limit is $6 a bottle) is bought on the bulk wine market and bottled with a goofy cartoony label (usually some cute mammal). The problem with this, though, is maintaining consistency and quality over time. Here are a couple of good finds without the cute label. All three of these California wines tasted like the varietals on the label - no small feat in the under $6 category. All are full of fresh aromas and hit the tongue with a splash of bursting fruit. The Cab has enough spice and backbone to accompany grilled meats while the Merlot is subtle and jammy, gliding across the palate with a silky finish. Once the Chard opened up a bit in the glass we got a nose full of crisp fruit and citrus, but not much oak, which is just how we like it..."

2008 Cardiff Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
