Never tried either.  White or red?

Not a white fan.  Prefer a jammy, peppery, medium tannin red.

Can't beat Trader Joe's two buck chuck for value but a good 12-15.00 favorite for me is the Coppola Chardonnay.

I have a glass or two every night, but anything more expensive waits until we go out or go into LA for dinner.

Santa Margherita is a good Pinot.
Not sure about 'cheap'.



You might also enjoy a Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region (NZ)
Cloudy Bay comes to mind.

Two oceans is okay, in its white variety. But i do think you can get better for the same price
