Spain has been providing plenty of great wines for less than $15 for some time now and I love stumbling upon these terrific values. During my last visit to Costco, I purchased the 2010 Cruz de Piedra Garnacha Rose for $8. And it was the perfect treat to pop open (actually it's a screw cap so there was no popping, just twisting) on a warm Monday evening while grilling Bratwursts. My glass was filled with watermelon Jolly Rancher and candy cherry scents. But this is not sweet pink wine. Instead, it's pretty firm with red fruit tartness, good acidity, and a dry finish. And it paired well with the bratwursts and the grilled chicken I had on Tuesday night. It even had enough acidity to stand up to a side dish of cole slaw dressed with lime juice.
If you're looking for an inexpensive and satisfying wine for the summer, then go find this $8 beauty! It will provide some relief during those hot afternoon and evenings.
