It should be better than Woodbridge at more than twice the price.

$12.00/bottle is a little steep for vin ordinaire in my opinion.  Maybe you're not as "ordinaire" as I am.

I don’t know a great deal about wine but do enjoy the reds, for health purpose only of course. Have some family that are wine snobs. Took a bottle of 19 Crimes to their place a few weeks ago. It is an Australian wine. You would have thought I sat rat poison on the counter.

Funny, I got the impression from your post that you were a wine snob.

Not a snob but I know enough that I do not care for Woodbridge.

That's fine.  But it's disparaging others for not sharing your opinion that makes you a snob.

Suggest another that can be purchased for less than $6.00 / bottle, which is the qualifier I am using.

I didn’t know we had a budget.

If you’re drinking reds for health purposes, drink Malbec or Pinot. I prefer Malbec. Pinots are too light and simple for me in most cases until you start hitting those $50+ bottles.

A little pricier (but not much), Petite Syrah by McManis isn't bad.

69 ford van. white and ugly...........

Mine was a '67 Mustang coupe I bought from my aunt. Worked my rear end all summer for that. Had rusted out quarter panels and floor boards from the salt. I'd get splashed every time I went through a puddle. Loved it.

McManis makes decent value wines to be sure; but Petit Petit Syrah from Michael David Winery for a touch more money is solid. Their Freakshow line is pretty decent in the $20 range. It’s Lodi, so fruit forward/jammy, but crowd pleaser.

Shocks started the disparaging comment about Woodbridge. I just agreed. Big deal. You can afford any wine you choose.

Would you please explain to Brother Homer that disliking Woodbridge is no snobbery.

What a weaseling post. 

Disparaging someone else because they do is snobbery.

(And constantly sniping at me reveals a little insecurity.)

I apologize for posting like an insecure snob and will try to quit sniping.

Pretty good for around $12 a bottle. Woodbridge that Brother Homer suggested has me worried about him.

First, "insecure snob" is a non-sequitur. 

You won't stop sniping. For some reason, I apparently live in your head.

Well you do have the reputation of being Godfather of liberal/progressives around here. Sorta comes with the territory and I often agree with you on some things.
