NAPA VALLEY INSIDER Red Wine Picks Under $8

The Napa Valley Insider is back!

It’s been a long time since I asked my dad to put together his recommendations for us, but after his very popular white wine recommendations under $6 list, I asked him for his go-to budget buys for red wine. Here are his picks from California, Italy, France, and Spain that he buys from his local Trader Joe’s….all under $8!

El Castilla Syrah (Spain) $5.99 / Grifone Primitivo (Italy) $4.99 / Maison Barboulot Cabernet-Syrah (France) $4.99 / Famille Perrin Cotes du Rhone Reserve (France)  $7.99 / Harvest Moon Cabernet (California) $5.99 / Agoston Garnacha-Syrah (Spain) $5.49 / Andean Moon Malbec (California) $5.99 / Albada Garnacha (Spain) $6.99 / Epicuro Aglianico (Italy) $4.99

Please let us know if you try any of these and what you think!

Tom Inlay

A 20-year Napa Valley wine industry vet, Tom turned a passion into a career after closing his psychology practice in a previous life. Perhaps it's his innate desire to "make people happy" that fuels his fire to teach colleagues and visitors about enjoying wine. Good food, good wine and good company are what life is all about in wine country.
