It's a new wine tab, friends. And you know what that means?

Me trying to decide which wines to talk about!

Here are my top picks under $10:

• Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay
If you can splurge, check out the Riva Ranch, too (about $20 though).

• Mark West Pinot Noir
A good Pinot under $10? Truly, a thing of beauty.

• Dynamite Vineyards Chardonnay or Cab
Always reliable favorite from Mendocino.

• Chateau St. Jean Cab, Merlot or Chardonnay
Over $5 off – does it get better than that?

• Clos du Bois
It’s our wine of the month and a super hot buy at nearly half its regular price. (Keep your eyes peeled for a coupon in your mailbox, too!)

• Pacific Rim Riesling
I talk about it a lot, I know, but seriously, any wine that’s good with chow mein AND barbecued chicken deserves a little shout out, right?

• Freixenet Cordon Rosado
Pink bubbly – perfect for Valentine’s Day (more on that next week!)

Pssssst,  speaking of Big Hearts Day, if you buy our Ultimate Valentine’s Day Dinner for Two (think crab-topped filet mignon, chocolate dipped strawberries and the works) AND Veuve Cliquot, you save $10. And, just between us (oh OK, and anyone who looks at our weekly ad), if you order your dinner online here, you can save another $5!

Last thing, folks: My favorite cheese is on sale this month, too! The Denhay Farm Cheddar, which our long-time readers will know I have much love for.
