Columbia Crest. Skip the Two Vines, that's the cheapest stuff. Try the Grand Estates or Horse Heaven Hills (H3). The Reserve tier is great but on the spendy side. I don't drink Chard so I can't speak to that, but the merlot is great IMHO and the cab is pretty good. Haven't had the syrah in a while so I don't really remember it.

If you're interested in organic (cheap) wine, try Snoqualmie "Naked" wines. They're better for riesling and gewurztraminer.


If you love somebody, set them free.
