2025 Wine between $10 and $25

Organic/Bio One of the best things about Monestrell is how it can develop really ripe fruit flavors without turning sweet or fruity. Like here in this cheerful Jumilla, Spain, example from younger vines and done all in tank. It’s... Read More

Lower ABV An ENORMOUS amount of wine for the money here, in 100% Malbec grown carefully at high altitude and then made in steel to let the grape and place shine through. Black-fruited on the nose and palate with fine complexity... Read More

Lower ABV Always a zesty, exuberant, take on New Zealand Sauvignon, this vintage is especially expressive. As Wine Advocate says in the 93 point review, it's herbaceous, crunchy, concentrated and chalky, with layers of saline... Read More

Lower ABV Pretty much exactly what you’d want to drink with seafood and sunset on the Greek Island of Evia. Blending salty Assyrtiko with fragrant Viognier, it serves up generous aromas of white peach and apricot and a burst... Read More

Lower ABV This is classic Albarino from the seaside region of Ribadumía in the heart of the Salnés valley, bounded on two sides by cold Atlantic Ocean water flowing inland through the estuaries – or “Rias”... Read More

Although this maybe the best wine ever for fish tacos and chips with salsa, we're not recommending it because it's Mexican. It's just stupid good and distinctive. Blending Merlot, Tempranillo, Syrah and Barbera, it's... Read More

Organic/Bio Yes, there's more to Provence than pink wine. In fact, once you taste this, you may never think of Cotes de Provence exactly the same again! It's a 50/50 Grenache/Syrah blend that delivers big blackberry fruit... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV An exceptionally fresh and energetic Provencal pink built on organically grown Grenache and Cinsault plus splashes of Syrah and Ugni Blanc (Vermentino). On the nose and palate, delivers bold notes of crunchy... Read More

Lower ABV The kind of excellent value in all-purpose, clean, fresh, and delicious Pinot Grigio that's getting harder and harder to find. Importer Lia Tolaini-Banville sources fruit from across the Veneto and ferments it cool... Read More

Lower ABV Samso in most commonly seen at the Catalan name for Carignan. Since the 1880s, Dom Cazes has been most famous for their sweet, timeless, Rivesaltes. This is neither, a dangerously drinkable and dry 100% Cinsault that's... Read More

Organic/Bio The little village of Visan in the middle of the Cotes du Rhone always seems to give wines with a sleek fruit and a hint of something we might call “ink” (but in a good way – really!). The blend of... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV A cheerful, fresh, southern Rhone rose value courtesy of...Caladoc! This crossing of Grenache and Malbec created in 1958 gives bold fruit, soft tannins and a smidge of cherry color to this pretty pink, perfectly... Read More

Lower ABV Think of Coteaux du Giennois as the front door to Sancerre (technically the “back door” since it’s down river, but that doesn’t sound nearly as good!). The limestone soils here were given over... Read More

Lower ABV This white from Savoie in the French Alps made from Jacquere (don't worry, no one else has heard of it either!) is the perfect springtime white. And a delightfully refreshing summer white. And a satisfying companion... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV The sister/brother team of Aurelie and Thibaut Giraudon grow wine on about 60 acres in Chitry, just outside of Chablis in northern Burgundy. Thibaut harvests each plot of their 15 acres of Pinot when the... Read More

Lower ABV Try to imagine what a rose of Pinot Noir from Chablis would smell and taste like. From rose of Pinot expect the bright and crunch griotte cherry Burgundy is famous for, some tangy stone fruit, a bit of cherry pit bite.... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV Another great vintage here! It’s 100% Sangiovese grown in the heart of Chianti Classico and farmed organically and made carefully by the team at the award-winning Toliani estate. The fruit is picked... Read More

Lower ABV As the winery says, La Galope is “A serious French wine that doesn’t take itself too seriously…just like those who make it. Born in Gascony, France, and brought to you with a good measure of bonhomie... Read More

Lower ABV The whale's tail on the label is a nod to Getaria's history - this seaport south of San Sabastian was a center of Spain's whaling trade in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today it's a great place to find... Read More

Lower ABV It's tempting to think of Txakoli as kind of a Basque take on Vinho Verde. But despite often sharing a touch of spritz, Txakoli is uniquely delicious, mineral and compelling. Like here in a blend of 40% Hondarrabi... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV Alessandro Cutolo is all about the mineral, saline, side of wines from Lugana on the southern shores of Lake Garda and Riviera del Garda in the hills on the western side of the lake. Here he brings that focus... Read More

Lower ABV Blending Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault and Counoise, this is about as Provençal as rose gets. As Vinous said in the 91 point review of last year's release, flashy and tropical, certainly not shy on... Read More

If I told you this was rose where ripeness is not the goal, it might put you off. But try this peppery, tart, lip-smacking, super-refreshing Loire Valley pink wine that was made from grapes picked just barely ripe...well, you'll... Read More

Lower ABV So, you're a bit suspicious about a Rias Baixas, Spain, grape coming from Texas? Well, it works! Perfectly ripe at 12.4% alcohol and, as the winery says, If you could bottle the moment between Spring and Summer,... Read More

Lower ABV Just exactly what you’re expecting in Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, which isn’t surprising since the winery here was a Marlborough pioneer in the 1970s. Loads of citrus – lemon, lime, grapefruit –... Read More
