Wines under $20 and the pandemic – a match made in heaven, right?! I get a lot of requests for wines under $20, or as I like to call them “weeknight wines.” My list changes from time to time, and I’m sharing some current recommendations below. These are wines that I have recently tested myself, as well as with others. You’ll find this selection spanning Italy, Spain, South America, Oregon, and of course, our beloved Cali. These are linked to major retailers for easy ordering, although most should be widely available.
