I got these and I gotta say even 2 weeks later the wine is still fresh.

This one isn't >$15, but I had a wonderful bottle of wine last night: a 2009 Bentley-Lane Pinot Noir. Runs about $25, which is more than I typically spend on a bottle, but I will definitely buy this one again.

MacMurray is good and can be found right at $15. Cambria Julia's Vineyard is an excellent pinot noir in the low $20s A standard in my home is Chateau Ste Michelle's reisling.

My wife just finished up a bottle of the CSM Riesling. I'm not a fan, but I don't like Rieslings. Too sweet. At the wine shop last night, the wine dude that turned me onto the Pinot Noir also suggested a Moscato. We haven't opened it yet, but I'm interested.

Anything from the Vermeil winery.
I use it to cleanse my rectum.

She also said Australia and one other place I can't remember have almost completely moved away from corks. But in other places it's associated with cheap wine still. Anyway, it was all very interesting. |

Australian Red Shiraz is one of my favorite types of wine. Here is one of my favorite brands, great flavour, not too much $$ yet not real mainstream either.

One winery I get stuff from has gone to screw tops for their white, but still corks their reds. Pretty much everything else I get comes corked, although I do get the odd red here and there with a screw top. I'll have to start paying more attention, but I know the last couple that came with screw tops were Australian wines. Interesting...

To be fair, the flavor of the grape is nice - very fruity - but it's just really, really sweet. |

I love the local NC scuppernong wines. A little sweet but great grape flavor.
