Hi Michelle,
Glad to see you’re a friend of Red Guitar from Spain. That’s one of my clients. I’m sorry we missed each other at the Blogger Conference last weekend, but let’s stay in touch.

Good list Michelle because the Spanish wines do provide great value. On the downside, some of us don’t care for the taste young grenache provides.
To those looking for values, I suggest a “step into the arena” approach. Grab whatever off the shelf and try it! I’ve never bought a bottle I could finish.
As for 2-Buck Chuck (Charles Shaw). It’s a $3 wine tasting like a $5. Yes a value, but to me, still not worth the effort.

Hello to everyone. I would like to recommend one of the best wines under 7 euros i have ever tried.
Marqués del la Concordia is a spanish wine from Rioja. I have tried many wines in my life and i can say it is difficult to have such a good one for such an atractive price.

Hey Michelle, I think that you are dead on with your Spanish choices… these are some of the ones that Allison and I drink on a regular basis as well.
You can also find quite a few great deals on domestic as well as Australian wines. Some examples include:
Rancho Zabacco Dancing Bull Zinfandel (US, $7.97) – massive red zinfandel, with blackberry, blueberry and black cherry fruit balanced with solid black peppercorn. Pairs wonderfully with grilled foods.
Two Tone Farm Cabernet Sauvignon (US, $9.99) – inky-purple color, with blackberry, leather and touches of bell pepper. Also good with grilled foods, or as a sipper wine.
Blackstone Sauvignon Blanc (US, $8.99) – more full-bodied than you’d expect in a SB and especially one at this price. Notes of citrus and peach with a firm acidity. Excellent with seafood.
Paringa “David Hickinbotham Individual Vineyard” Shiraz (Australia, $9.99) – very full-bodied with blackberry, cherry, licorice and pepper. I’m always amazed at the quality of Australian wines at the price points.
Cheers,
Gary
