Most of us are on a tight post-holiday budget, so good buys in red wine make sense.
Price key: $=less than $20 $$= $20-40 $$$=$40-60 $$$$=above $60
Quality key: * = decent wine ** = very good wine *** = superb wine ****= elite
VALUE = exceptional quality for the money
Pilgrim Mencia, Bierzo, Spain '20 **1/2 $ WINE OF THE WEEK
(Easy drinking medium bodied red, with spicy fruit, a little like merlot)
Les Illustre, Coteaux d'Ensérune '16 ** $
(A rich rustic red from Languedoc-Rousillon, earthy, smoky big flavors)
The Critic Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley *** $$ SUPER VALUE
(A very affordable Napa cab that has all the hallmarks of the real thing)
All of these wines can be purchased at Kenilworth Wine and Spirits.
