Cycles Gladitor mentioned above is too sweet for me.

If super markets had a wine buyer that knew anything about wine they would all carry Dr. Loosen Dr. L Riesling which is always a huge hit at my tastings.

Over on Twitter, Mike Madrigale suggested Louis Jadot’s 2010 Beaujolais and many chimed in and agreed retweeting him and some added “”Jadot Beaujolais” true that, definitely one of the best 9 dollar bottles of wine out there.” and “Louis Jadot 2010 Beaujolais-Villages ‘Combe aux Jacques’ is very solid.”

Caleb Ganzer thought they might have a Drouhin chablis/macon.

beyond that, i try to look for clues beyond the word “wine”, and look for regions like napa or sonoma (as opposed to simply “california”).

but the best advice is to find a wine shop. i used to work at a wine shop when i was in my twenties, and my favorite thing in the world was recommending new wines to people. there is no better suggestion than to find your local wine nerds, and let them put a bottle in your hand

Although I’d go for the bring-your-own option, myself. Young and still, like the nice man says. Wrap it in two layers of bubble wrap, it’ll be fine.

“When it comes to wine I’m very particular about what I buy. There are two things I look for before making my selection.
First, the word “Wine” must appear somewhere on the label. This is something I insist on.
Second, I look for a sign nearby that says “On Sale.”
Follow these two rules and you won’t go far wrong.”
