I can find good wine at the Grocery Store??!! YES. Stick with these brands and you are good to go......

Life is too short to drink bad wine. Want good wine at a decent price and easily accessible? Below is the Wine Momma Grocery Store Go-To Wine List, courtesy of my countless hours of research. :-)

My favorite grocery store wine brand is Cupcake. Such a smart outfit. Yes, they are based in CA but their grapes, based on the varietal, come from the region in the world that is well known for that varietal. So, you get the value and expertise of that area without the high price. Their Sauv Blanc is my fav and is currently priced at $10.99. Also be sure to try their Chianti or, honestly, any of their varietals. I am pleased with them all.

Bogle Vineyards is the best bet for the best reds for your dollar. Bogle has a great Table Red Wine that can go with all sorts of dinners but my favorite of theirs is the Petite Sirah. It has true flavors and offers great complexity at a lower price point of $11.99.  Also be sure to try the Bogle Olde Vine Zinfandel, also $11.99.

In terms of Bogle white wines, they also have great choices - stick with the Chardonnay and Sauv Blanc, both at $9.99.

It kills me to say this but, yes, Barefoot Wines has some decent wines. All of their wines at my local Publix are a whopping $6.85. Their Pink Moscato, for those of you that love the sweet, sweet wines, is amazing but really sweet. Also check out their Sauv Blanc and Chardonnay. I chose to aerate the Chardonnay due to it tasting a bit too oak-like for me, but tell me what you think.

Are you a riesling lover? Try the Relax Riesling - only $9.99!

Need a Sparkling Wine for a special occasion?

Chandon at $16.99 is your best bet!

Here are my favorite wines/brands at a bit higher price point (around $20) but still in your local grocery aisle!
Joel Gott - Sauv Blanc and Cabernet
Kim Crawford - Sauv Blanc and Pinot Noir
Sterling - stick with their whites
Fess Parker - stick with their whites
Francia Coppola - Claret

So, wine friends, no matter what your budget or need, you can always find good wine. Try some new ones this week and let me know what you think!

Cheers!
