Perhaps our favorite category to write about are “house wines,” white and red wines that really taste good but are so inexpensive, you don’t mind opening bottle after bottle. Here’s a “house red” that knocked our socks off, made for everyone, even in a struggling economy.

It’s an old story that many of the world’s great wine values come from Spain. Today’s offer, Celler la Bollidora “Sao” 2007, simply follows in this tradition. Here is a $19 (see The Wine Advocate, Issue 181) Rhone blend that delivers the goods big time. It’s well worth $19. Just ask the folks at The Wine Advocate.

But that’s not our price. How about $9.99? How about ordering a case? This is a steal of a deal!
