Great red wines for around $10
Posted by Glenn on February 28th, 2008I like wine. I like wine a lot. I got started enjoying wines relatively late in life, and so I don’t have a lot of old wines in my cellar. While in principle I don’t have any objection to spending some bucks on a good bottle of wine, in practice a good proportion of my wines are in my favorite $10 sweet spot.
Here’s a quick and dirty list of red wines that I have had that are both affordable and exceptional. I’ll post some white wines later.
