It surprised me you didnt include any Argentinian wine in the recommendations, last week I had a 12 USD catena zapata malbec that was really good.
Also last night I had an amazing cremant d'alsace that I bought this year in Chile for 18 USD, extremelly good and over delivered for its Price.
😀 i don't even start the video and i saw a bottle of borsao tres picos, garnacha from campo de borja i prefer their syrah called (zarihs) pretty good value (we buy tres picos for less than 10€ their zarihs its about 14€). And I love your pronunciation very good spanish. Borsao really good quality value but i prefer bodegas ponce from manchuela you can try their clos lojen (bobal 7,90€) or their La Xara (Garnacha 9,90€). So you prefer more fresh type of wine? When i read in a description a wine are fresh i run away from it because here when they say more fresh it's less concentrate (more watery) and more acid…. i like more dark type of flavours but my favourite this year was Dominio de Calogia Cuvee S and for me that are pristine red fruit of gods and i love viña ardanza too.
I got my parents on La Creme Pinot Noir (Sonoma or Monterey, whichever is screwcap is $20 and they love it), as well as some CDR as ways to try approachable step-up wine. I should definitely see if I can find them some of the others mentioned here!
I would love to have easy Access to Oregon pinot noir wines but In Portugal you dont get them easily. On the affordable wines and Portugal for 25€ you get already alot of quality wines, though I usually prefer a bit Higher end wines. I mean with 10/15 euros plus you start to enter on great wine territory. Drink less but better….my motto.
Great video. Thanks for putting it out. I love the budget/value wine reviews and recommendations. I'd be interesting to blind some vs more expensive wines. Thank you.
Ooooo. Bummer on the Coravin!
I'm someone that's gone hardcore scotch/whisky/whiskey as my evening drink of choice. But I love watching your video's especially when I'm learning about bottles that cost $18 or less as I see that price point as being equivalent to a $60 bottle of whisky in terms of "cost of a standard pour."
Great video! I love these types of videos. These are exactly the types of wines I'd be wanting to try to push in my retail setting for the average customer. Of course in my state the availability of some of these might be a bit iffy. But I still love learning about these. It's been a while since I've had Borsao but I remember it being a nice wine for that price point. I've not had or seen the Rioja Vega. But a brand of Rioja wine I've had a lot of success with is Bodegas LAN. I've turned a number of customers onto their Crianza and it's become one of the top selling foreign wines in the store. I'm not sure if it might be a bit too oaky for your taste. But I think it comes across pretty nicely for the price point I have, under $15.
I love finding great values!!
My favorite under $25 red wines were the 2019 Art of Earth Malbec from Mendoza (enjoyed at $8.99 and $10.99) and 2019 Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($21.97 discounted to under $14!).
The former was an amazing value organic unoaked red with multiple broad categories of flavors/aromas. It paired extremely well with steaks and homemade Korean barbecue! In terms of most memorable red wines ever, this is top 4 in my book by (the others are fancier Napa cabs and a merlot).
In terms of the latter, it clearly outperformed its price point as a more serious wine: delicately oaked, red+dark fruit, and autumnal aromas! beat a pretty solid entry-level Napa Cabernet (2018 BV Napa) thanks to complexity and more subtle oak aging. It paired spectacularly with a Outside Skirt Steak!
My wine shop did a tasting of Borsao a few months ago and I never paid to attend the tasting. You play guitar? Definitely my favorite wine YouTuber now.
My top, sub $25, wine- that I bought in the US- this year remains: 2017 Musto Carmelitano Aglianico del Vulture Serra del prete. At $22.50
Good video Matthew. I think Rioja can be a good value. But whenever I'm going to drink a wine under $25…i feel you can't go wrong with a Chianti Classico Reserva or Barbera d'Alba. For me, it's a lot easier to drink than the big fruit bomb cabs…. especially when young.
Thanks for all the hard work putting these videos together!
The Rioja Vega is a steal for 11 euro. A couple of my cheap red dates: Penfolds Koonunga Hill shiraz, Fontanafredda Briccotonde barbera, Herdade de São Miguel Alentejano and Torre del Falasco Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore. Looking forward to your Abruzzo tasting.
I want you to try torzi Matthew’s “schist rock Shiraz “ from the eden valley in South Australia
I’m blown away by it!
Great list here!! Thank you!
2019 Three Finger Jack Cabernet Sauvignon. Full disclosure, I bought it last year because of the name. But at $9.71 a bottle, I wish my 401K had the same return on investment.
Thanks for all your videos. I been watching you for a while. I’m an American in Italy and tonight I saw your Nanfree for €10.50 in a supermarket. I will pick up a bottle to compare notes with what you stated. Take care and thank you!
👍
Olga Raffault from Chinon has some amazing wines for under or around 20 euros. Franck Balthazar 's Crozes-Hermitage is good. So many options in Chianti region, Tiberio's and Cirelli's Montepulciano and in Spain you can buy Remelluri Reserva for 22ish euros
Really cool lineup, interesting to see which American wines are considered good values for someone who lives in the states, as the entry-level wines usually have such a big tax hit on them that they lose their value proposition once they hit the Norwegian market.
Extremely interesting to hear your comparison between the Valpolicella and a Sonoma Pinot Noir! I've found the exact same similarity in a couple Valpolicella wines, especially a Ripasso from Monte del Frà.
