I love a dry rosé in the summer. My go-to inexpensive one this year has been La Vielle Ferme. Heck, I drink rosé year 'round, but especially in the summer.
It's hard to go wrong with a pinot noir from the Willamette Valley.
Without a doubt for me. However, still not the biggest Sangiovese fan, not sure what it is, people love them some Chianti's, and I have tried very few 100% sangios that I like.
True but it is also hard to find one for less than $30
OSDToy loves Pinot Grigio in the summer, what is the $ on the Simply Naked and where is it available in the Triad?
As the OP of this thread mentioned, Layer Cake Malbec is indeed pretty tasty and at $11.99 a bottle will be purchased further in the future.

Anyone know anything about Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007? A co-worker who lives in Tacoma, WA really likes it and suggested it. Any thoughts?
The ginzies have been doing it for waay longer than the French and certainly those stoned fruits in CA.

Barbera > Bourgogne

I wouldn't listen to Moon - the Alexander Valley is the better or the two, in my book, and it costs much less - you can get it for around $60 at stores like Total Wine. It isn't the best value for money if you are looking for a California Cab, but it is better than most - make sure you decant it. If you are looking for a really good cab that tastes like is should costs much more, look for Sequoia Grove ($30ish).
Congrats - I don't know you but just cause you have had many expensive wines doesn't make you the end all be all. I happen to like the Alexander Valley silver oak.
90 was a pretty good year, 86 nit bad either, hope you didn't foot the bill for that.
I know all about dusty Alexander Valley cabs. Good wines.
These were cellared wines. Quite the treat.
Next time you are opening the cellar - send out an invite, we'll have a Pit wine tasting party. I'll bring the silver oak.
