Wine of the Week: In this all-too irregular feature, I’m seeking out affordable and drinkable wines, trying to keep the price around $10.

I recently tasted some samples from R&B Cellars of Alameda, Calif. Owner Kevin Brown is a jazz pianist and singer and the winery and its wines borrow on the rhythm and blues theme.

I tasted the Swingsville Zinfandel, Saxy Syrah and Serenade in Blanc Sauvignon Blanc. While all were quite pleasant, I most enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc ($13), with hints of grapefruit, melon and enough minerality to sparkle on the tongue.

According to the R&B Cellars Web site, the wines are available locally at Crossroads Wine & Spirits and Fisher’s Liquor Barn, Grand Junction, Colorado... Or go direct and purchase online...
