hoorta Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 I forgot to mention if you like red wines- be on the lookout for some Washington State red wines like Columbia Crest, they're great values for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 30 minutes ago, hoorta said: The Australian variety. Lindemans Bin 65 is a great value, and Yellow Tail. California flavors are Fetzer, Berenger, and Sutter Home. Don't be afraid to try some of the cheaper German (or Oregon\ Washington state) Rieslings either. They can be off dry to slightly sweet, and I like them a lot. If you look at German Rieslings look for these words on the label : Kabinett (least sweet one), Spatlese (medium sweet one), and Auslese (the most sweet). If you want a sweet Italian wine look for a Moscato. All of these range from around $9-12 per bottle. Much more for higher rated ones.

Burman's is Aldi's brand of mayo, mustard, ketchup etc the mayo jar looks exactly like a Hellmans jar...... bought it by mistake but I love it and all of their products.
