In honor of National Wine Day, I made a list of our favorites because we’ve tried our fair share of wine since we met, and we’re basically junior sommeliers.
Kidding. Maybe. 🙂
We typically aim for bottles in the $10-$15 range, but we’ll have a pricier bottle every once in a while if we’re dining in a nice restaurant, or we want to enjoy a really special bottle with a home-cooked meal.
We also drink more red wine than white, but sometimes a nice white wine pairs perfectly with a light seafood or chicken meal. White wine is also good to keep on-hand for cooking!
This list could really go on and on, but for the sake of your time, here are our top favorites!
