what you do is buy decent wine and still charge him the $9. If you are "foodies" (what a horrific term) why do you want to drink bad wine to accomodate your guests?

I don't know what they sell at Joe's, but I would suggest that they are not light and user friendly. Buy the Bandol.

The least expensive Pinot I would suggest is Buena Vista at $16-17. As I noted Pepperwood Grove will cover you, but I wouldn't serve it with lamb.

A light red I would suggest, again not for lamb, would be Rene Barbier Penedes red - likely available for about $5. Rather light - not bad if you do like wine, probably better if you don't.
