Today's Best Wine Value - Red Blends

I love Napa Valley Cabernet - always have, always will. But come on guys! how about a little relief! We're in the longest and most severe recession in over 75 years and prices haven't adjusted at all. In some cases they've gone up, especially after a high rating from a respected wine critic.
So where do you find yummy red values that are for every day or weekend drinking? Enter the red blend.
Many wineries are making a "house blend" that consists of blending several varietals. Some of these creative blends have up to 7 or 8 different grapes in the mix.
Here at the Market we have several of these great red blends. Here are a few of my favorites: 2009 Charles and Charles Red - $11, 2009 Novy Four Mile Creek - $11, Fess Parker Frontier Red #102 - $11 and 2009 R Collection Field Blend by Raymond - $13.
