I'm hosting a chess tournament with friends, and would like to buy a
bottle of wine for about $20 or less which has a name that's related
to the game of chess. The purchase is not, of course, so much about
ending up with a marvelous bottle of wine, as it is to find a gift
with a name related to chess. So something with the words like Queen,
King, Castle, or Knight would all be suitable. Any recommendations?
Once I have some names, I may inquire at my local retailer. Thanks in
advance.

King Estate is an Oregon winery that makes both Pinot Noir and Pinot
Gris. Their wines are reasonably priced and quite decent for their
price point. Another good, inexpensive winery is Castle Rock, which
makes various low cost reds of decent quality (Pinot Noir and Merlot
especially). Beringer also makes a line of wines from the Knight's
Valley of Napa. Both their Cab Sauvignon and Alluvium (white) from the
Knight's Valley typically retail for under $20.

Good job, Mark. There's a Paso Robles winery called Bishop's Peak,
too.
