The Wine section of the SF Chronicle today was a great treat today. Since I am just beginning my trek through wine country, I am presently sampling the wines that are economical ($5 - $20).

Linda Murphy's column suggested the following wines:

2002 Bodega Norton Mendoza Sauvignon Blanc $7
2001 McManis Family Vineyards River Junction Pinot Grigio $10
2002 Lindemans Bin 65 South Eastern Australia Chardonnay $8
2001 Robert Mondavi Private Selection Central Coast Chardonnay $10 2002 Yalumba Y Series South Australia Viognier $10

2001 Cline California Zinfandel $10
2000 Yalumba y Seriees South Australia Merlot $10
2001 Falesco Vitiano Umbria $8

I will try to purchase the wines above and post the wine experience.
