A couple of years ago, I was at a grocery store and saw Yellow Tail on sale for $4.99 a bottle. Many consumers consider Yellow Tail to be a good wine. Yesterday, my daughter called and said she found an Icewine for $20. My immediate response was, \u201cOh, that must be an ice wine style wine.\u201d But it turned out that it was a true Icewine imported from Canada. Twenty dollars for a bottle of Icewine from a renowned winery is a good deal. However, in most cases, consumers are not able to taste imported wines in advance of purchase.<\/p>\n<p>As we have traveled from one winery to another in the past several years, we\u2019ve noticed that many domestic wines tend to be a bit more expensive than many imported wines. However, consumers will discover many domestic wines that are in the $10 and $20 range. Visit your local wineries and taste the wines before you buy. We visited with Roy Cecchetti from the <a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/california\/cecchetti.php\">Cecchetti Wine Company<\/a> and he is producing domestic wines with a price average of $10 each. We had the opportunity to taste his Line 39 wines and enjoyed them.<\/p>\n<p>The overriding advantage of purchasing a wine at a winery is that most likely you will have the opportunity to taste the wine before purchasing a bottle of it.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy your search for a good, but reasonably priced wine. Wine is the perfect gift and can be purchased economically.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!\u00a0Kathy<\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"owbutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlywire.com\/button\" title=\"Gifts for the Wine Lover that Won\u2019t Break the Bank: Domestic and International Wines\" url=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/2009\/12\/09\/gifts-for-the-wine-lover-that-won%e2%80%99t-break-the-bank-domestic-and-international-wines\/\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How much are you willing to spend on a gift of a bottle of wine?
