    47% OFF this 91-93 Point, Estate RRV Pinot Noir! Don't miss the 2022 Hook & Ladder Estate Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.

    Non-vintage Sauvignon Blanc for under $5 from Aldi. We review the California Heritage Sauvignon Blanc. Primarily Sauvignon Blanc with a bit of Albarino from California. Made by E. & J. Gallo, just like the extremely cheap Winking Owl wines also found at Aldi, there's no doubt this non-vintage wine is mass manufactured. That's not necessarily bad in and of itself and we were encouraged to hear there is a bit of Albarino in the mix, so we decided to check it out.
