Here are a few morsels of high value, low cost wines that are Wine Spectator rated with several other rating agencies to support my claims.
2010 GWC Assyrtiko Santorini
I normally don't like Greek wines, they're too sweet, but this is the exception. It's a wine from the island of Santorini that has a pure focus on white grapes with loads of apple and pear taste. It has a citrus zest end that keeps you coming back for another taste that you didn't taste in the first drink. This is a special pick that's good for summer parties with a very special price.Important: Make sure it's the 2010, the 2012 is out and it bites on the end!

2011 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc
Wine Spectator released their rating of Cloudy Bay 2011 on June 16th. This is also a special Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, it's expensive but the quality and taste are far superior from anything I have tasted. Alas, "life is short", so do for you and your loved ones and you will remember the special love for this wine before you remember the price.Retail: $21.00 Total Wine

2011 Marchesi di Barolo Barbera Maraia (a cab)
From the Piedmont Italy area, this is a top 100 wine on that list in 2012, number 16 out of 100. This is a fit to be drunk, succulent red with black cherry, blackberry, and violet aromas on finish with lots of flowers and honey.Retail: $12.99 Total Wine
