I bought a wine rack?
I bought a little wine rack to hold 6 bottles at a time. Anyone have any suggestions for some of your favorites (for under bucks each)

A few I would recommend:
Blackstone Napa Merlot (around $20)
Sebastiani Cabernet (around $17)
Benziger Cabernet ( around $20)
Duck Pond Pinot Noir (around $16-20) - Oregon has great Pinot
Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc (around &12)
St. Francis Chardonnay (around $15)
Rex Goliath wines are a good choice for under $10.
Woodbridge Chardonnay, Valdique (a red wine served chilled), Yellow Tail Shiraz.
Malbecs are really good. You can get good ones for under $20. Try Terraza (i may have spelled it wrong). I like Pinot Noirs and Cabernet Sauvignons too. For Pinot Noir, try Smoking Loon, it’s under $15.
Toasted Head is good.. its got a bare on it breathing flames an the shape of the bottle looks well in a wine rack.Or do what I do on fill the expensive empty bottles with the box win your drunk friends will never know.
I don’t really know what’s available in your area or what type of wine you like but try an Argentinian Malbec (most are delicious) or a Chilean Cabernet. There’s a great Zin (obviously I mean the red kind) called "7 deadly Zins" that’s pretty awesome. Frei Brothers is also good. There are plenty of excellent wines under $30. The fun is in trying out a variety. Experiment.
that suggestion of Zinfandel called 7 deadly sins IS good, whites my favorite is gwertriminer, spelling is off on that, but you will get the idea, as a rule of thumb i tend to enjoy ALOT of wines in a blue bottle. That is a theory & may not hold true for yourself. Need to decipher what your pallet perfers, sweet, dry, white, red…then which kinds work best for ya…easiest way to experiment is going to wineries if there are any around you & do the tastings, helps you decide what types you prefer…
It all depends on what you like.
For white wine that are quick to drink, get a mix of different wines so you can try them. I would pick a mix of Sauvignon Blanc (Duckhorn, Conundrum, Mondavi Fume Blanc - all $15-25), Chardonnay (Mondavi Carnero, Rombauer, Jordan, Flora Spring, all $20-30), Pinot Gris (Santa Margarita $15), and white Bordeaux and white Burgundy ($10-30).
For red wines to drink try some fun stuff like Pinot Noir (Saintsbury $25, Artesa $20, Benton Lane $20), Zinfandel (Rosenblum $10-30, Ridge Geyserville $25 or Ridge York Creek $30), Syrah (Truchards $25, Novy $20), or Merlot (Markham $25, Sawyer $25, Chateau St. Jean $20).
For red wines to age before drinking, try the big Cabernet (Mondavi $25, Chateau Montelena $25), Merlot (Rombauer $25, Merilyn $25), Petit Syrah (Rosenblum $30).
As a word of advice, keep your rack somewhere cool. Please don’t put on top of the refrigerator - that is one of the worst place. Another bad place is the pantry - unless you keep your pentry very cool.
