Big news, wine friends! We are thrilled to announce that The Wine Pair Podcast has been featured in a recent article on Chowhound titled, "10 Cheap Wines Sommeliers Say You Should Be Buying."
As you know, our whole mission is to help you find great wines that don't break the bank. So, when Chowhound asked us for recommendations for reasonably priced bottles that overdeliver on quality, we knew exactly which hidden gems to share. We were so excited to see not just one, but four of our picks make the final list!
Here are the four fantastic, budget-friendly wines we recommended in the article:
2022 Gaia Monograph Agiorgitiko (approx. $14) Joe called this Greek red a "hidden gem," noting its flavors of "cherry jam and dried currant with some incense on the nose." It's a versatile food wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. We gave this vintage a solid 8/10 on our rating scale!
Kirkland Signature Côtes du Rhône Villages (approx. $7) You know we love a good Costco find! This red blend is an absolute steal. We described it as a classic Rhône-style wine with notes of dark fruit, pepper, and earth. For the price, it's incredibly difficult to beat its quality and drinkability.
2022 Cantine Elvio Tintero Langhe Arneis (approx. $15) This Italian white wine from the Piedmont region is a refreshing change of pace. We love its crisp, floral, and fruity character with notes of pear and apricot. It's a perfect wine for sipping on a warm day or pairing with lighter fare like seafood or salads.
Vins el Cep Kila Cava Brut (approx. $15) For a celebration without the champagne price tag, this organic Cava from Spain is a top choice. We highlighted its crisp acidity and fresh flavors of green apple and citrus, along with fine bubbles that make it feel special. It's a wonderful sparkling wine for any occasion.
It is an honor to be included alongside other wine experts and sommeliers in this article. We highly encourage you to head over to Chowhound to read the full piece and discover even more excellent, budget-friendly wines to add to your shopping list.
