Wines
Château Vieux Poirier (Bordeaux)
It’s hard to find a sturdy yet smooth Bordeaux at $20, so the Château Vieux Poirier is not just a delicious wine, it’s also a bargain. You’ll taste blackberries and plums in the mouth. It’s perfect with a tasty steak, no kidding.
J. Laurens is a Delicious $17 Champagne
This little baby goes with everything on the table, even pizza. Need a little buoyancy in your day or dinner party? This is it.
Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Furstentum by Domaine Maurice Schoech

Barbera D’ Alba by De Forrville® Barbaresco Red Wine
The Barbera D’ Alba by De Forrville® has a saturated fruit flavor, thanks to the robust Barbera grape, “the grape of friends,” Michael Kane quotes from an Italian winemaker.
Mâcon Pierreclos Red Burgundy Wine 2016
Bing cherry notes and general joyousness make this red from the southernmost part of Burgundy like a friend you want to be around. You’ll get dark fruit (there’s that bing cherry) and dark and red berries. It’s intense, lively, and sprightly.
