Pandemic Wine Survival Guide

Anyone else's recycling bags just FULL of clinking bottles? Here's what's on rotation in our house.

Are anyone else’s recycling bags just FULL of clinking bottles? I can’t buy wine fast enough! To purchase safely, I have been buying from wine.com –(I pre-purchase shipping at a one-time fee per year, and wine delivers thereafter in a 2-day delivery timeframe.) Nice and quick. Locally, I also call ahead and do curbside pickup at a local store called winestore. I know many other cities offer local curbside options.

Now is not one of those times to try crazy new things – I’m going to tried and true classics! Here’s what’s on rotation in our house, at various and accessible price points.

The Prisoner – While I drink this all the time – this name is right now, making me laugh.

$49.99

Conundrum Red Blend – I love a screw top and this is a fruity, easy, drinker!

$22.99

Orin Swift Abstract – a great bottle from a classic producer.

$35.99

Uncaged Red Blend – another appropriate label name, in a Cali blend.

$17.99
