Highest Rated Cheap Wine (Red)

April 12th, 2006

Soon after launching this blog I began to look at wine a bit differently as I focused more on the names and years of the wine. While I enjoy wine and drink it from time to time my wife really love wine and drinks a glass or two each night with dinner, almost always red. Amanda and I have purchased dozens and dozens of varieties of red wine and have found one brand that we consider the highest rated cheap wine (in our house anyway).

The brand name is Red Truck and it comes out of California, which was founded by Fred Cline in 1982. While the winery has had many “popular” bottles success came when they launched a blended table wine in 2003. Sales exploded since that time and in 2004 they sold more than 145,000 cases! As mentioned this has been my wife’s favourite wine for some time, she says she can taste just a bit of vanilla and often buys a case at a time to get an extra 10% off the purchase price at our local “bottle shop”.

About a year ago the winery featured a label contest that was won by California artist Cindy Lucas, you can view here painting as well as other finalists below:
