New cheap wine from Crane Lake

OK, "cheap" is now an "in" thing because we are all watching our pennies. So it's big news that Crane Lake is introducing an Australian Chardonnay. The label reads "Down Under by Crane Lake." Price has not been revealed, but you can bet it's $5 or less. And it will be dry and pretty good. Roll-out date is expected to be July 1.

Crane Lake is produced by $2 Buck Chuck producer Bronco Wine Co., aka Fred Franzia. The wines are not bad.

Crane Lake Down Under Chardonnay 2008

Hello, I just happen to stumble on this. I'm actually the sales rep that sells Crane Lake in the Metro Detroit Area. It's mainly in small stores or small chain stores. You won't find it in stores like Meijer or Walmart. It is very good and you can't beat it for the price (and I'm truly not saying that bc I work for the company. It's been a hot item since we launched it) If you would like more information on Crank Lake and the Down Under brand...just shoot me an email at brian_hicks@kentbeverage.com

Thanks!

Crane Lake Down Under Chardonnay 2008

Hello Sandra-

Do you know who has this new Chardonnay in the greater Detroit metro? Am considering as the white wine for a friend's large wedding reception.

WSJ gave a "very good" review.
