Sometimes you're broke. (Unless you're a trust fund baby, and that doesn't apply to most of us.) When you're broke, you have to do without some things. One of those things is expensive wine. Notice I didn't say "good wine" right there. Only "expensive," which is much easier to deal with. Especially when you can nab three bottles under $10. Nice! (Almost as wonderful as the recent death of the world's foremost terrorist.)
So Sunflower Market is my usual go-to for 3/$10 bottles. They buy up old inventory and sell it at a very reasonable price. By reasonable I mean crazy cheap. And that is what this Chard is, crazy cheap. Forget two buck Chuck. Charles Shaw eat your heart out. I'd have this guy instead every day of the week, (and twice on Sundays.) This guy has a very light, pleasant nose. Not complex in the least, but not offensive at all- zesty and sweet. It goes down easy with a small, nice lingering note of cream. Again, not really memorable atttt all, but super satisfying as far as a wine-craving goes.
Varietal: 100% Chardonnay
Alcohol: 13%
Origin: Livermore, CA
Price: ~$3 at Sunflower Market and other grocery stores
Rachel's Grade: B Even though it's not the greatest, it's not bad! And it's $3. If you're looking for a wine for a party maybe, or for an easy table wine, I'd go for this. And it has a Fox on it, super cool. Forget buying lottery tickets- for a couple bucks,with this guy you always win.
