Maybe you’re looking to stock your wine shelves with choices that don’t break the bank. Whatever the case is, I have 5 recommendations for you to up your wine game while you’re balling on a budget.
Here are 5 great cheap wine options, where to find them, and a couple of ideas on what kind of food to pair with them:
1. J. Lohr Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon $16.99
at Target, Sams Club: this is one of my favorite cheap wine dupes, although the price is starting to go up. You used to be able to find a bottle of J. Lohr Seven Oaks Cab at Walmart for $12.99. This wine is served at Mastros Steakhouses across the country, where one glass costs you about the same as a bottle at Target. Pair with a filet mignon or meat lovers pizza. Enjoy with chocolate covered cherries for a treat.
2. Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon $12.99
at Sams Club: I’m starting to see this wine popup everywhere and for good reason. It tastes expensive, but it’s not. I’d stock up on this one because at this cheap price point you’ll be going back for more. Serve on Italian night with prosciutto wrapped mozzarella to start and your favorite pasta and meat sauce as the main course for the full-blown experience. Grab a bottle at Target.
3. Dreaming Tree Red Blend$13.99
literally everywhere, but check Target or Sams Club. Dreaming Tree is actually Dave Matthews wine company, so if you’re a DMB fan, drink your heart out. Enjoy a bottle of Dreaming Tree Red Blend with antipasto and a red sauce spaghetti.
4. Josh Cellars Sauvignon Blanc, $11.99
at Target: Sauvignon Blanc is the quintessential springtime wine. Light and refreshing, Josh Cellars Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect pick this time of year to pair with grilled chicken or home-shucked oysters. Have with a big slice of key lime pie for dessert!
5. Chateau St. Michelle Chardonnay, $9.99
at Target. If you’re an amateur wine drinker, you can note that white wine is most always cheaper than red wine. Why? Red wine takes longer to age and has many more elements! Chateau St. Michelle Chardonnay is a perfect, butter Chardonnay that goes down so smooth. Serve with a parmesan and asiago charcuterie board, or spice up your night with some Cuban pork sandwiches or chicken and shrimp fajitas. A glass of chardonnay is great after dinner with a warm slice of buttered banana bread. If you can find Chateau St. Michelle Chardonnay Indian Wells, even better!
