Oops, sorry I am late getting this up for October. This is the monthly
posting formerly entitled "QPR Wines for (fil in the month)" . Please
post up to 5 wines that you thought were a great value and feel others
should look for.
1) I'd encourage each poster to limit themselves to one post of 5 or
less value
wines per month, to keep things from being dominated by a few.
2) Please just post the wines, with little commentary. This might be
hard on
verbose people like myself, but might encourage those who might
otherwise be
hesitant (if 7 people posted before you, each with detailed tasting
notes, might not
feel as comfortable just posting your wine). Certainly feel free to
start a thread of your tasting impressions of any wine(s) and be as
verbose as you want!
3) No bashing of others' suggestions. Let's try to be supportive as
possible. It's fine to ask questions re wines you're interested in.
4) Please try to be sure that the wines you suggest are reasonably
available (wines available at only at one store, that you bought 4
years ago, or only available at a winery is less valuable as a monthly
resource)
5) There should be a 2 month limit on posting any wine. This will
ensure the list is a bit fresher.

Looking forward to everyone's suggestions!

My picks:

2005 Filliatreau "La Grande Vignolle" Saumur-Champigny $14
2005 Nigl "Kremser Freiheit" Grüner Veltliner $12
2004 Catherine and Claude Marechal "Cuvee Gravel" Bourgogne (rouge) $19
2004 Chave "Mon Coeur" Cotes du Rhone $14
2005 Berger Gruner Veltliner $9/liter

I will second this one of Dales:

2004 Chave "Mon Coeur" Cotes du Rhone $14

Much better than $14 wine!!! GREAT PQR!

2005 Ste Michelle Riesling, Dry Riesling and Gewurtztraminer. Around $6 on
sale.

Note: Not even the Dry Riesling is truly dry.

By definition many that I have tried are just as dry as a Chardonnay,
Fume Blanc etc. Fruity, but dry.

We have been enjoying the 2003 Geyser Peak Cab (10 USD). Very nice
Alexander Valley character, medium depth (not Parkered), enough
structure to hold it together.
