OSBORNE SOLAZ ($10) SPAIN>

We are in mourning as we celebrate the Advocate annual Cheap Wine extravaganza and $10 Wine Osborne Solaz, the Spanish red blend that has stay of the Hall since its inception, is being fazed porate term is “selectively distributed in stores throughout U.S.,” but the reality is that the wine won’t be for stores where you used to buy it. (Osborne is replacing the Solaz with a brand called TempraTantrum; hopefully, it tastes better than the name.)

Otherwise, despite the weak dollar, 2009 was a banner year for cheap wine. The only other wines to drop out did so because the weak dollar pushed their prices above $10 — Falesco Vitiano, which produces a solid rosé, an even more solid white blend and a stunning red blend made of sangiovese, cabernet and merlot.

The Hall added five wines: A California chenin blanc from Vinum Cellars called CNW; Notorius, a white wine from Sicily; a red Rhone wine, La Ferme de Gicon; and vini merlot from Bulgaria, which may be the best cheap merlot I’ve ever tasted. Also, look for the 2007 Bota Box cabernet sauvingon, which at $5 a bottle, is a steal. I can’t, however, recommend any newer vintages.

Here’s the rest of this year’s Hall of Fame: and especially the petite sirah. the Spanish sparkling wine, which comes in brut (dry), extra dry (sweeter than brut) and rosé. about $12 for a 1-liter box). which can be found for as little as $6. and especially the sauvignon blanc, from southern France.
