Smooth, dry cab that’s always at a great price. Simple flavors, so it’s nice to pair with cheese or fruit.
Columbia Valley, WA
Chateu Ste Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon
U2W Rating: 
Good, every day light cab. Great to pair with food or snacks. This is a great wine that can be found almost anywhere. There is an Indian Wells version that is very common as well for a few extra bucks, but we find tha Indian Wells version to be a little bit drier with a slightly harsher finish.
Sonoma, CA
Coppola Diamond Claret
U2W Rating:
A great wine that has a little bit of spice but also has some great fruit flavors. We feel this wine tastes like it cost much more than it does.
Napa, CA
Educated Guess Cabernet Napa
U2W Rating: 
This wine has it all! A great flavor with a smooth finish that's not too fruity or sweet, but still has that nice mouth feel that you would want from a fruit-forward wine. The design on this bottle is what draws you in and the taste is what will brings you back.
Clarksville, CA
Juggernaut Cabernet Sauvignon
U2W Rating: 
We originally tried this wine because the label was just incredible, but after trying it, we realized it was more than just a pretty label. It has intense flavor on the front with a smooth finish. There was fruit present, but the smell was our favorite part of the wine. This is from the Bogle winery in Clarksville and it's definitely becoming a favorite of ours.
Merlot
Central Coast, CA
Robert Mondavi Rum Barrel Aged Merlot
U2W Rating: 
This is a fun wine with some interesting notes that make it one worth to have on-hand. We like this wine when we are in the mood for something a little bit more fruity and complex.
Pinot Noir
Sonoma, CA
La Crema Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
U2W Rating:
One of our favorite wines on the list. This is a great choice if you want one bottle of wine that will make everyone happy. Make sure you grab the Sonoma Coast La Crema, it’s our favorite of the La Crema Pinots.

Just enough spice on this one for us. We really liked this wine and will continue to keep it on hand.
Red Blend
Central Coast, CA
Dreaming Tree Crush Red Blend
U2W Rating:
We got this because of our love for Dave Matthews but we stayed for the fantastic flavor and amazing finish on this wine. We recommend enjoying this wine while listening to the track it was named after “Dreaming Tree”. This wine taught us there's nothing Dave cannot do.
Santa Barbara, CA
Fess Parker Frontier Red
U2W Rating:
A great red blend from Davy Crocket himself! This is a nice table wine that goes great with food that you can always get for a great price. If you find yourself out in Santa Barbara, you have to go visit the winery; the tasting room at this winery is incredible.

Beautiful color and a lovely flavor on this chardonnay. We can’t help but picture sitting outside on a sunny California afternoon while enjoying a picnic with a glass of this in hand.

This is a fantastic Chardonnay that is slightly buttery, but not too much. No matter what type of wine you like, this is a great one to have on your radar.

Incredibly popular Pinot Gris that you will be able to find just about anywhere. We love this wine because it’s simple, easy to drink, and never disappoints. We love to pair this wine with cheese.

We don’t have many international wines on this list yet, but this is one that has always been on our radar. A great wine for any occasion. We especially love this wine with seafood.
Riesling
Columbia Valley, WA
Kung Fu Girl Riesling
U2W Rating:
A really unique wine that has a slight tang of citrus to it, but not too sweet for a riesling at this price. We really enjoy a chilled glass of this after dinner or to pair with bread/crackers.
