Charles Shaw isn't too bad. It used to be called two buck Chuck cause it was only two dollars. I think it is a little more now but only $5 or so.
This is too funny! This is my choice wine when I'm entertaining cause I can drink it all day long and it isn't too strong, tastes good, look sparkling pretty in my glass, is cheap hee hee, and takes the edge off the nerves of preparing and entertaining. Good analogy LOL on the adult version of boone's farm .. geez, that brings back memories when drinking age was 18 in the US. (oops, dating myself here).

Ooh, we are in the Pacific NW so blackberry is a good option...very cool.
John is not a sweet freak by any means, I just threw in the sweet thing for me in the off chance I would want to have a glass.
GRose-That is what I thought, I passed it and stopped, marveling at the convenient screw cap and teen appeal bottle ;-) I so remember Boone's, there was this tasty tropical one some 16 years ago. Man it gave me heartburn!
Ruby-Now is Sangria a mix of something?
I really should just google all of this and stop wasting everyone's time. Maybe I will put a call into my auntie in San Francisco, rumor has it she has good taste in wine.
A good cheap wine I found is Manischewitz (sp?). It's a Kosher wine, I usually get blackberry and it is $4-5 a bottle. I like it because it's sweet and has a nice after taste.
That's what I drank when I was 17 since it is so cheap. I am not really a fan of boones farm so arbor mist our alternative.
I'm not wine lover, but I DO love Olive Garden's berry sangria. It's fruity and has just a little "tart" to it. SIL and I once drank an entire pitcher of it in one sitting. Back when we liked each other, that is!
