For over 2 years now I have searched for the best budget wines. Recently, I found what I’ve always been looking for. The wine is simply called “RED”, and is produced by the St. Francis Winery. Given the crappy economy, this find could not have come at a better time!
The first time I tried this wine went like this…
I had a bad day. I wanted some wine. I went to the Safeway
near my house. I was on a mission. Always a sucker for a good looking bottle, I
saw RED and felt compelled to give it a try. I took the bottle home, let it breathe
for a few minutes, then poured myself a hefty glass. Actually, hefty doesn’t
quite convey how big this pour was. It was huge. I started to drink this wine
for which I had no idea the blend, and amazingly enough, found myself in love.
It was so good. I was in shock.
I went online and found the producers website (http://www.stfrancisred.com). I read
about the wine, uncovered the blend (pretty much all red varietals grown in California), and even
perused the recipe section (I was intrigued by this). Anyway, by the time I
finished my glass, I was hooked.
This wine is now my absolute go-to budget wine. Whenever asked about what I would recommend for under $10, this is now the first name I speak. It’s just that good.
Try it and let me know what you think.
Final rating- Definitely buy it (over and over again)
i ran into this wine pretty much the same way, just switch safeway for jewel/osco. it's such an easy drinking wine, and pairs so easily with almost any food.
i've noticed at wine tastings, actually, that a lot of wineries are doing similar smorgasbord blends at the $10 price point. and a lot of them really aren't that bad either.

I just stumbled onto your blog after looking up reviews of 2007 Sebeka Cabernet-Pinotage that I had just grabbed up at the store. Turns out it is delicious and not a purchase I ended up regretting. Good to see a wine blog out there that focuses on afforable good wines. I'll have to try Red next time I run into my local Safeway.

I strictly recommend not to wait until you get big sum of cash to buy different goods! You can get the personal loans or just secured loan and feel yourself comfortable

Some time before, I really needed to buy a good car for my organization but I did not earn enough money and couldn't buy anything. Thank God my sister suggested to try to get the home loans at reliable creditors. Therefore, I acted that and used to be satisfied with my term loan.
