And I think you are in good company, fellow wino. :) I'll check out that wine club for sure! Does it make me lazy to join California Wine Club if I already live in California?

Also Menage and trios- a bit more of a "splurge" @ 13.99, but one the best wines that Have hit my taste buds! One more thing (damn I feel like a wino now) California wine club- received it as a birthday gift last year, tasted some good ones, and you can re-order super cheap! @Christen I will defiantly try the bubs soon!

Jackson-Triggs is a crowd pleaser. Cakebread is good but the prices have shot up recently; however, their Chardonnay usually pleases even the biggest red wine snobs. Honig Sauvignon Blanc is fabulous, too. Not sure if they have made their way out there since they are a smaller, newer Napa winery. (Yeah, we're spoiled living here since half the state is "wine country") If we're going for budget-friendly, Yellow Tail is a great option (reds and whites and they even have a sparkling version if you are craving bubbly!), but you can get that anywhere. Wow, I am outing myself as a total wino... When in doubt/overwhelmed, I ask the resident expert at our store: she is adorable and always takes time to offer up new suggestions. I feel like I should invite her over for dinner at this point! I like ice wines for a dessert option that isn’t sickly sweet. Jackson-Triggs is a crowd pleaser.
