These are the very best deals around. There are so many good ones, too many to list. Here are just a few that are delicious at these bargain prices.  Andeluna at Molly Stone&#8217;s for $11. La Posta at K&#038;LWines for $14.99. Melipal for $15 at BevMo.<\/p>\n<p>At Weimax in Burlingame, we like the Santa Ema Merlot from Chile and according to owner Gerald,  who we trust completely, it is as good as a Napa Merlot that sells for $40.  The Santa Ema sells for around $10.<\/p>\n<p>Joe loves the Juan Gil at a local Costco store for $11.50. This wine is from Jumilla, Spain, and is the varietal Monastrell, elsewhere it is known as Mourv\u00c3\u00a8dre. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/winetraveler\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/vintage-300x210.jpg\" alt=\"vintage\" title=\"vintage\" width=\"300\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-914\" \/>Ray picks the MontGras Cabernet from Chile at BevMo for around $10, and Mike and Joe think the Preludio Cabernet from Mendoza for $13 at BevMo tastes like a wine that should cost $25. Mike also likes the Castle Rock Columbia Valley at Trader Joe&#8217;s for $6 and Ray likes the Old Moon Zin at TJ&#8217;s for $6. <\/p>\n<p>Pinot Noir wines are tough wine bargains to find. Here are two: Castle Rock Mendocino Pinot Noir $10 at Trader Joe&#8217;s, and Alpen Cellars Pinot Noir, Trinity County, $17 at K&#038;L Wines or by the case from the winery for $9 a bottle. <\/p>\n<p>Let us know if you have any thoughts on these wines or have a recommendation you would like to share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the last post, the Vintage Wine Club listed their favorite white wine bargains for the holidays so this post is all about our favorite bargain reds.
