Dave McIntyre's 'recession busters': wines that outperform at $10 or less (with an occasional splurge a little higher). All of these count as Great Values. Chateau de Vaugelas 'Le Prieure' 2006/2007 2 stars Corbieres, France, $10 This delightfully aromatic wine evokes the South of France, with violet, thyme and rosemary scents. The distributor now has the 2007, but the 2006 may still be in stores and is tasting better right now. Bricco dei Tati Barbera 2007 1 1/2 stars Piemonte, Italy, $8 How often do we find a noteworthy barbera under $10? This is terrific for the price, with earthy cherry notes and beautiful balance. Warning: This wine might persuade you to begin exploring the more expensive wines of Italy's Piemonte region. Castillo de Monjardin Tintico Tempranillo 2006 1 1/2 stars Navarra, Spain, $8 This is a great burger wine: deeply colored, fruit-forward and juicy; almost too much fun to have in a glass. Mercedes Eguren Shiraz-Tempranillo 2005 1 1/2 stars Castilla, Spain, $9 Leather and tobacco accent the cherry and plum flavors of this stylish little charmer. Skouras White 2008 1 1/2 stars Peleponnese, Greece, $9 One of the joys of exploring wines from different regions is the discovery of unfamiliar grape varieties. This refreshing wine blends Roditis and Moscofilero to yield quince flavors and a slaty, saline acidity. Pair this with picnic fare or seafood off the grill. Cono Sur Riesling 2008 1 star Bio-Bio Valley, Chile, $9 This textbook dry Riesling, crisp and refreshing, is ideal for casual sipping or slightly spicy foods. It comes from Chile's newest, and southernmost, wine region. Fat Bastard Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 1 star France, $10 I wanted to hate this wine, because its too-cute name screams 'marketing.' But it won me over with abundant blackberry, raspberry and cherry flavors. Nothing about it says France except the label, but it is quite nice for the price. Oracle Sauvignon Blanc 2008 1 star South Africa, $8 Lean and crisp, with brambles and grass, this refreshing sauvignon blanc should appeal to fans of the New Zealand style.
