I love a great wine, who doesn’t? The only problem is they are sometimes hard to find – and once you do, how do you remember it the next time you’re out shopping? Well, below is a list of some wines I know I like – most are very reasonably priced, but there might be a few nicer bottles mixed in courtesy of my dad. We like to keep those for special occasions. I usually don’t spend more than $12 dollars on a bottle of wine, so in time I hope this list will grow with more great and affordable wines. Feel free to share your favorites, so I have some wines to test!
Don’t know much about wine? Me either. This is a great book for all of us new to the wine world. It provides a history of the different grapes, regions, and suggests easy to find, affordable wines to try.
This book is the 25th Anniversary Edition.
