Everyone has assumed red so far!
I've had one each of the 04 Tahbilk Rhone whites this week, all good value at $130/dozen (club members price). the 01 Cab and Shiraz weight in under $15 as well.
McWilliams Elizabeth Semillon is a perennial bargain under $15, and any number of Rieslings can fit the bill.
cheers

Re: Best wines Under $15 - anyone delve this low for mid-wee
I picked up a doz. of Seppelt Chalambar 2001 for $14 a pop and O'leary Walker Shiraz 2002 a month or so ago for $15 (club prices)....they have got to be the best value reds around.
Anyone tried the 2003 O'leary walker shiraz? Nick's has just released at $18 pb

I reckon the Houghton SSB 04 is good value too. A vibrant white that has good varietal definition in the blend.
Tahbilk whites at club member prices are usually good value and at least good (often better) quality.
Peter Lehmann Shiraz should be good value < $15 but my local sells it for $20+ and that puts it out of quaffing territory for me. BUT the Clancy's 02 is a useful wine. must've consumed a case or so while the local had it @ $10/btl for a month. The PL Chard 02 was pretty good too for $10/btl.
Was intially quite impressed by Brown Bros Everton Cab/Malbec 02 for $9/btl but decided it's a bit of a fruit bomb and not really my style.
Tried all but the merlot of Jamieson's Run standard red range and settled on the CS as the best of them, mayb a little confected but a reasonable quaffer @ $13/btl.

I had this on Saturday night, and thought it was bitter and astringent. Horrible. Hopefully it was just a bad bottle!

Wiz,
As many on this site know I am a great fan of (relatively) more elegant Coonawarra Cabernets as I dislike high octane super ripe Shiraz from Barossa and McLaren Vale. For some its the complete opposite. I am greatful considering the price difference.
