A friend of mine has asked me to write something about "good wines under $20". So I will write this piecemeal.
This question is asked of me many times and in many different forms. I can't promise that you'll like a particular wine because we all have different palates. Some people are very sensitive to tannin, for instance, and most red wines taste very bitter to them. Some people have a preference for the "New World" fruit forward styled wines as opposed to "Old World" wines with less fruitiness and more structure (mostly tannin and acid). So without knowing each individuals preferences it's impossible to make sweeping statements about what is good. This is why I'm not a fan of the points system that Parker and Co. use.
What I can write about is quality, in all it's various styles. I will blog about several wines in this price point over the next couple of weeks. I'll let you know what sort of style it is, as well as it's personal characteristics and my assessment of it's quality. I'll let you know where you can buy it and how much it is. If you go out and buy a wine that I've blogged about let me know. Try to describe the wine to me and let me know what you liked and disliked about the wine. This way I'll get an idea of you preferences and can advise you better going forward.
