Cheap Cabernets

Several posts back, verbatim linked to a list of cheap Cabernets. I tried the Smoking Loon and the Ravenswood (both found at Trader Joe's) and liked both of them well enough but wasn't dazzled. I'll keep working on the list and hope to find a good house cab. I'll let you know how it goes.

Have you ever tried Bear's Lair? This place

gives it only a 3.5 out of 5. I don't know much about wine, but I it seemed like a good "cheap wine" to me.

Good idea. I liked the BL Viognier. I think 3.5 is a fine rating. Good enough to drink but maybe not great. Kind of like tuna fish salad vs seared ahi. Both good but at different levels.
