These wines, from California's Napa Valley, over-deliver on taste while not emptying your wallet.

The Chardonnay is medium-bodied with a hint of oak. Aromas of lemon and citrus combined with flavors of apple and pear lead to a delightfully crisp finish.

The Merlot is medium-bodied with a hint of oak and flavors of cherries and plums. It is rich in the mouth and ends in a soft fruit filled finish.

The Pinot Grigio is a medium-bodied wine filled with aromas of wildflowers, peaches and pears. Fresh, tropical flavors combined with a touch of spice lead to a delightfully crisp finish.

The Moscato has a floral, fruity nose and ends with a sensation of lemon zest on its finish.

The White Zinfandel has a beautifully bright salmon color and aromas of strawberries and spice. Full of flavors, this wine has a refreshing crisp and clean finish.

Mamajuana is a traditional drink from the Dominican Republic that is concocted by allowing rum, red wine, and honey to soak in a bottle with tree bark and herbs.

The taste is similar to port wine. Rumored to be an aphrodisiac, Mamajuana is also consumed for its medicinal value. The alcohol is said to act as an extract base that pulls the herbs' curative properties, creating an herbal tincture that is often served as a shot.

The reported positive effects on health vary, ranging from a flu remedy, to a digestion and circulation aid, a blood cleanser and kidney and liver tonic.

Here are a few recipes using this traditional libation.

The Red Rocket:
Equal parts Mamajuana, peach schnapps and cranberry juice. Serve over ice.

1 1/2 oz. Mamajuana
