The Côtes d’ Ammerschwihr from Alsace is a dry white wine with a richness and a floral quality to it. A tiny bit of Muscat gives the wine lift.

Stark-Condé Makes a $20 Cabernet That Tastes Like $35
We love a good wine that punches above it’s weight. This Cabernet Sauvignon made by the Stark-Condé Vineyard in Stellenbosch does exactly that. It’s a $20 cab that drinks like a $35 bottle of wine.
Carolina Chardonnay is a $10 Gem
From one of the oldest wineries in Chile—Santa Carolina—a favorite of ours, comes a well-balanced chardonnay that’s got a richness to it, but is neither too oaky nor too buttery. And, it’s $10 a bottle.
