I like a nice glass of wine at the end of the day to relax and unwind. Though I am not against “two-buck chuck” and have enjoyed many glasses of it, I like trying other faire as long as its tasty and well priced. I try to keep my wine purchase at under $12 a bottle. I have had much more expensive wines that didn’t match up to the moderately priced ones.

I have quite a few wine places near me to peruse for tasty wines. Trader Joes gives written reviews and descriptions with many of it’s wines, most are extremely well priced. But I have occasionally picked up a bottle that didn’t make it past the first glass.

But, I have done extremely well of, at all places… Ralphs. Yeah, as a whole it’s an overpriced, over the top market. But it does have its charms. When I want a bottle of wine, it’s convenient with a decent selection and these little tags that tell you what kind of wine it is and if it’s an award winner. So I look for the well-priced, award winning wines (awarded a gold medal) that have the highest price reduction and have done pretty well.

I do not have a Bev Mo near me, so my best options are Trader Joes or Ralphs. Oddly enough, I have done better at Ralphs.
