Since postings to net.wines have been few and far between
recently, I thought I'd try to get it going again. Forgive
me if I'm bringing up a subject which has been done to
death in the past, but I'm a relatively recent netter and
haven't seen this before.

What cheap, dry white wines do you netters imbibe?
What do you pay for them?
Why do you like them (if you like them!)?

My *House White* is usually Gallo's Sauvignon Blanc - my
corner liquor store sells a magnum (1.5 litres) for $4.69.
For a cheap, bulk wine it shows remarkable varietal
character - it's light, dry and slightly grassy.

I also like Riverside Farm (Foppiano) Premium Dry White at
around $4 for a magnum. It's got a lot of French Colombard
in it, but avoids the sickly sweetness often associated with
that grape.
