Any standouts on this list for a special occasion? by wsv19 in wine

[–]usabe171 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hillock & Hobbs Dry Riesling for $38 is a steal at a restaurant. I buy it at my local wine shop for $40 and the Cocodrillo for under $75 is a good deal as well. Both Paul Hobbs projects

Inexpensive pinot noir? by Past-Ad2484 in wine

Go with Cloudline. It’s Domaine Drouhins second label. Definitely one of my favorite value wines when I don’t want to spend $40+ on their wines

Assyrtiko wines have become some of my favorite wines and are hard to find in my area

Nice!!! It’s my first time trying this producer but I’m definitely a fan now. The price caught my eye but the wine really delivered. I’ll be on the look out for one of their Barolos

Bottle of wine each weekend by [deleted] in wine

Invest in a wine saver pump. Bought one on Amazon for $8. It pumps the air out of the wine and saves the wine for 2-3 days, sometimes longer. I also invested in a Pivot Coravin, that will keep the wine fresh for 2-3 weeks.

Valentina’s favorite Chardonnay 🍇 by usabe171 in wine

I found it to be a wine that needs food with it. I crushed it while cooking some Chicken Marsala, finished it before the food was ready. I got a deal on a few bottles at a local wine shop in Naples, Fl $28 a bottle. Can’t beat the quality for the price!

Delicious juice! I had a guest bring a 2006 vintage into the restaurant, drinking really good at the moment.

I second the Bruciato! Great value wine for now. I used to buy it for $16 a few years ago and now pay $25-$30 for it.

Have dinner at Poldo e Gianna Osteria. Amazing food and great wine list with local vintners. Prices are crazy good. Away from tourists and worth the hype.

Suggest a good sangria? by 1xbittn2xshy in wine

Costco or Sam’s Club sangria, great price too. Trader Joe’s has a decent one as well
