This rosé will certainly transport you to the south of France, its birthplace. Imagine yourself on white sand beaches, holding a glass with aromas of grapefruit, currant and rose.

Notes of honeycomb and vanilla, paired with a silky texture, give this Chardonnay a luxurious feel for a bargain. Bogle also has a handful of other varietals that will impress you (and your wallet).

Franzia is a favorite for its price, obviously, but there’s a lot to like about the winemaker. The brand is a leader in green practices, with its recyclable cardboard boxes and the fact that these boxes pack more easily on a truck, saving 50% of greenhouse gas emissions. Try the classic taxi, or the Chardonnay, Chablis or fruity red sangria.

This deep ruby ​​red is a cross of Pinot Noir and Cinsault, although the baby of these two grapes is nothing like its parents. It’s ink, complex and a spicy touch.

This lush region of Portugal produces crisp, floral, shiny and slightly effervescent whites. A perfect summer sip.

This Riesling is all you want and need from just one: notes of green apple, lychee and bright lemon with a subtle sweetness of honey.

Wine Spectator floods this Cabernet Sauvignon with acclaimed review year after year, or should we say vintage after vintage. It’s a bold number with dark fruit complemented by subtleties of vanilla and spicy herbs.

Marlborough is synonymous with Sauvignon Blanc because the region produces bright, clean, grassy whites that the world loves. Three winegrower brothers create this bottle with notes of pineapple and peach. We faint in front of this bottle and, also, the thought of three winegrower brothers.

Carmenère is a less well-known red grape. These more obscure varietals don’t come as high in price despite being delicious wines, so don’t let this bottle go under your radar. Deep plum and blackberry dance with caramel and subtle green pepper in this glass.

Californian producer Bonny Doon creates a magnificent rosé bursting with grape varieties from the southern Rhône. You can taste peach, guava and a delicious smoothness obtained by leaving the wine on its lees (depleted yeast cells).

Alamos is critically acclaimed for its velvety mouth feel and lush notes of cherry and blackberry. It’s no wonder, then, that this is the best-selling Argentine Malbec in the United States.

Kendall-Jackson has been America’s best-selling Chardonnay for 25 years. A quarter century. Two and a half decades. Aromas of butter and oak blend elegantly with notes of citrus and apple to create this smooth Chardonnay.

A decade that has passed has given this bold red wine time to mature and mellow into plum and blueberry rich beauty with hints of nutmeg and caramel.

This Spanish sparkling wine is treated much like champagne in that it is produced with secondary fermentation in the bottle and spends 15 months on its lees. This particular treatment produces fine bubbles that release bright aromas of citrus fruits and toasted brioche.

There is a lot of Italy in this bottle of red wine. Memoro is a blend of different grapes from different regions of different vintages that come together to become a modern wine with aromas of figs, cherries and coffee.

Stella Rosa produces consistent and affordable bottles. This sparkling wine is no exception. Notes of peach and almond spring directly from the glass.

“Juicy” by Notorious PINK Sorry, we couldn’t resist. This balanced rosé presents notes of strawberry, honey and orange blossom.

Parducci is the oldest vineyard in Mendocino County, California. They have produced quality wines that have been produced sustainably for centuries. This Pinot Noir is no exception. Delicate with crisp acidity and fruity flavors of raspberry and cherry.

Aging in bourbon casks gives this Chardonnay intense notes of butter, vanilla and caramel. The intensity and rich body make it a perfect match with pork or a richer fish, such as salmon.

The coastline of Santa Barbara offers a harmonious balance of fog, wind and ocean. Fortunately, the Pinot Noir grapes are imparted with undertones like dried herbs and smoke to the cherries and cranberries of this region.

This bright red wine is vibrant with strawberries and raspberries, flowers and maybe even a little banana. This is what you would call a “porch pestle”. Louis Jadot produces many easy drinks under their label.

Once again, bourbon casks bring hints of oak, vanilla and chocolate to the fore in this bold red. Notes of black cherry and blackberry also hold their place, ensuring balance. Beringer is another label to watch out for when looking for value-oriented wines.

Dark Horse winemaker Beth Liston describes her technique as a treasure hunt. She aims to use new winemaking techniques with different grape varieties to create a wine that exceeds its price. This Sauvignon Blanc is a prime example with its crunchy grapefruit and vibrant acidity.

Berry-bomb. This Zinfandel is rich and succulent and incorporates licorice and black pepper into the berry blend. The lamb has found its match in this bottle.
