Looking for tips on a good cheap red from Total Wine. I have become obsessed with Total Wine based on their beer, liquor, and cigar offerings, but ironically the one area I haven't had good luck yet is with their wine -- and their employees are not helpful, which makes it hard to find good wine. I have gotten spoiled by Trader Joe's, where I am consistently pleased with sub-10 dollar bottles of wine. I typically like very dry reds that have a bit of earthiness or acidity. I dislike reds that taste overly "smooth." Here are two from Trader Joe's that I buy frequently:

Anything comparable at Total Wine? Or recommendations generally about regions I should target? If it makes a difference, I am located in New Orleans.
Thank you!
