Let’s taste wine!! The best way to learn about wine is to taste a lot of wine. I know, I know, what a chore in the pursuit of education. But, it’s just a necessary part of the process. 🥂 Here’s a round-up of the best red wines under $20 you can pick up at Target or a grocery store. Ok, there may be some that are a little over $20 but I included them anyway because they can be your splurge purchase.

A tip on picking wine in the grocery store

Go for the brands that have expensive wines, too. When a winery has a range of high end and affordable wines in their portfolio, it usually means they have a high quality product. Some of our favorites include Rodney Strong, Daou, Coppola, and Justin. (Video at the top taken at a Justin wine tasting!) These brands all have expensive, highly rated wines in addition to the affordable options included in this list!

Pinot Noir Picks

  1. Erath Pinot Noir • $15.99 • When you’re in the mood for a Pinot, Erath is a good one to open. I personally love a Pinot with cheese and bread, but also a good choice if you’re having grilled chicken.

Red Blends

  1. 19 Crimes Snoop Cali Red Blend Wine – 750ml Bottle • $12.99 • Because it’s Snoop. And the wine is great, too! Related blog post: Pair Snoop Cali Red with a slouchy sweater, Mythic Quest, and your favorite candle.
  2. Z. Alexander Brown Red Blend Wine • $15.99 • Like a pair of jeans that fit just right… pair this with comfort food and comfortable jeans. This is one of my go-to wines.

Malbec

  1. Layer Cake Malbec • $13.99 • This Argentinine wine is an excellent example of a wine that doesn’t need to be astronomically expensive to be excellent. Tastes like an elegant blend of blackberries and chocolate. Serve with an elaborate charcuterie board.Drink withfun friends on a Friday winter evening paired withthe smooth but fun Latin Jazz Apple Playlist.
