| New
York Times Review: 10 wines under $10
The New York Times published an article on budget
wine reccomendations featuring wine $10 and under in price. The
goal of the article is to identify inexpensive wines that are not
only palate worthy, but also full of body, structure and personality.
They tasted 25 different inexpensive wines to come up with their
top 10.
In addition to specific recommendations, the NYT article also mentions
wine regions that are most likely to produce good value wines. Portugal
and Spain topped that list with some great up and coming vineyards.
Uruguay was also mentioned as a suprising new-comer.
