Your value picks for September

Oops, once again I let this slip. This is the (supposedly) monthly posting formerly entitled "QPR Wines for (fill in the month)" .

Please post up to 5 under $20 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!

OK, this one is tough, actually drank a lot of great under $20 (and under $10) wines lately. I decided as fall approaches to not post roses (not that I'll stop drinking them!). And I didn't post some things I got one-time deals on, even if they're good deals at regular prices.

2006 Berger Gruner Veltliner (Kremstal) $9/Liter (so equivalent to $6.75 bottle) 2005 Lafond "Roc-Epine" Cotes du Rhone $9 2004 La Casaccia "Casa Poggeto" Grignolino del Monferrato. $10 2001 ESJ Wylie Fenaughty, $16 2005 Vissoux (Pierre-Marie Chermette) "Poncie" Fleurie $17

Tried a 2005 Clos de los Siete for the first time last w/e. Can$18.90 (~US$18). A Rolland wine from Mendoza. Rich black fruit on the nose but a bit tight in the mouth. Needs a couple of years perhaps. It disappeared too quickly to see how it might have opened up given time. Will try again soon under more relaxed circumstances.
