Can y'all recommend a good white wine that's under $10?

Not too dry, but sure as hell not sweet or cloying.

I've found a few reds I like, and rarely drink white but we're having company tomorrow and they prefer white... help!

Many thanks. And if you wanna throw in a few recommendations for your favorite reds, feel free!

Wine! Yum!

10. I love Fat Bastard!
But I like the Sauvignon Blanc. It's about 12 bucks.

4. My personal fav is WoodbridgeChardonnay by Mondavi
Edited on Sat Mar-05-05 03:17 PM by SW FL Dem
It's cheap but doesn't taste it. Costco has it for around $10 for 1.5 liters (twice the size of a normal wine bottle). Several of the nicer restaurants here use it as their house wine. When it's on sale at the grocery store, it always sells out.

6. That's a good choice, too. I prefer the Meridian Chardonnay, but
that's a little more expensive.

16. Santa Margherita is good, but a bit dry and crispy.
Crispy...is that a wine word? Anyway, it used to be pretty cheap before it was "discovered".
