Favorite "Cheap" White Wine?

Need some for C's Baptism.  I can list my favorites cheap reds without hesitation :)  but it's been a long time for the whites because I was pregnant last summer.

I think I will say "cheap" = under $8/bottle?

Do you know any of these Bevmo 5 cent sale ones?

Thanks!

    PS - I also got an email from Cost Plus - they have 40% over 100 of their white wines.

    Pepperwood Grove is a pretty good cheapie. I think Safeway might have it on sale for $6-$7.

    I'd love for you to list your fave cheap reds since cheap is all my budget allows these days!

    We super puffy heart the BevMo 5 cent sale!!

    From that list, I would go with the Kim Crawford Unoaked Chardonnay.  Nothing fancy, but pretty nice and not super cheap tasting.

    Thanks!  I've definitely seen the Pepperwood label, but haven't tried it.

    My go-to reds grocery store reds or "pounding reds" as S calls them are BV Coastal ($7) and Penfolds Rawson's Retreat Cab or Shiraz-Cab ($8).  I like them because you can drink them straight from the bottle.  There's an Italian red, Masciarelli, that we went nuts for ($7)...I haven't had it in a while, but I might be over it.  And I like Barefoot's Zinfandel ($6).

    One of my favorite things to do though is to go to a local wine store and browse their under $10 selections and ask the person.  I've had some really good ones this way, like Masciarelli. When I was 9 months pg, I went in and bought a case - I guess someone was ready for her wine?!  I guess you could do the same at a TJs, but I like to support the smaller stores and they can give really good feedback.  And since they aren't your well-known wines, no one knows what you paid for them if you serve them at a dinner party ;)

    Thanks for the list!

    I really should go into our neighborhood wine shops more often. Whomever sold you that case of wine must have been cracking up!
