Happy National Wine Day!

Clients often ask if there are wines at reasonable price points that would be delicious to serve at an event with a large guest count. Great wines at $20 or under are out there — they might just take a little research to find.

I recently did some R&D to find a few to recommend to a client. (Big thanks to my pal, Matt Brooks, for many of these suggestions!) Check out the resulting list below.

At events, I usually recommend having two whites (most often a sauvignon blanc and a chardonnay); two reds (usually something like a pinot noir and a cabernet sauvignon); a sparkling wine; and a rosé when the weather is nice.

You’ll see the R&D is ongoing… I am still on the hunt for a chardonnay and rosé to add to the list.

Cheers, All!
