Based on your advice we splurged on a 750ml bottle for 3 dollars.$15/ gallon table red Cab Sauv at Whole Foods (Three Wishes label). Best deal in town!
When WF is either closed or inconvenient, my other “splurge” is $5 per 750ml of Cab Sauv from Beringer (Main & Vine). It too has less complexity but my wallet is a simple billfold without many bills inside.Based on your advice we splurged on a 750ml bottle for 3 dollars.
Some might say it lacks the depth and complexity of a Chateau Lafite Rothschild, but never having had one of those...
I thought it went fine with our turkey, green beans and potatoes.
It has always seemed to me that the quality of wine (among other things) does not increase at the same rate as the price.When WF is either closed or inconvenient, my other “splurge” is $5 per 750ml of Cab Sauv from Beringer (Main & Vine).

Finding really tasty wines that are affordable is always a treat. I’m a big fan of South Australia Shiraz now from exploring and finding some $12-$15 bottles, which is about my true “splurge” ceiling. One of them is from a winery called Red Knot. Good stuff, enough so I was chatting about it while dining at a really great restaurant where I had ordered another label of Shiraz that was a bit more expensive but still not ridiculously overpriced. I commented to my date that I liked the Red Knot better but they didn’t offer it so we would deal with the restaurant’s Shiraz. Our server had heard the conversation and offered us a glass each of a really top end Shiraz they had opened but hadn’t finished the night before. Nice gesture, excellent taste but my curiosity got the better of me later when I got home. I searched for the brand and it was $175/bottle! Certainly not 10x the quality in taste.It has always seemed to me that the quality of wine (among other things) does not increase at the same rate as the price.
A nine dollar wine is not three times tastier than a three dollar wine and so on, and on. A few years ago we were given a 150.00 dollar bottle- Cab (we looked it up) neither my wife or I liked it.
