Aldi's California Heritage Brut Sparkling Wine- The Best $4.95 Bubbly?

We are named Cheap Wine Finder but we were always about the best value-priced wine, not the cheapest.

There is a major difference between the best and the cheapest.

Aldi came out with their California Heritage line of wines selling for $4.95 and we had no expectations.

But their Pinot Noir was more than drinkable, now their Brut Bubbly should be on your Mimosa radar.

Substance Cs Cabernet Sauvignon 2021- The Best $14 Cabernet Sauvignon?

This is a wine from the House of Smith or Charles Smith wines.

They produce wines that sell for $150 and get 100 points and they sell 90-point value-priced wine.

This wine received between 90 and 93 points for the 2021 vintage. 

I said in the podcast that if they sold this wine for 3 or 4 dollars more it would be a bargain, I meant 3 or 4 times more, that is a major difference.

Charles Smith wines have been a favorite of mine for years and this vintage does not disappoint.
