Affordable & Attainable Wine Suggestions

Behind the Cork™ Reviews

Part of the fun and adventure of wine is opening a bottle and finding out what’s Behind the Cork™.

I am not paid by any producers of wine, although I may be provided with samples for review. And, in those cases where I am, I’ll be sure and tell you. I am not a professional reviewer of wine. I simply love to share recommendations on great wines. Hope you enjoy these!

I frequently get asked “What’s a good bottle of wine to buy?” And, my response always begins with “What types of wine do you enjoy drinking?”

Most people are just looking for a nice bottle of wine to have with dinner or to take to a party. Something that’s easily obtainable and affordable.

These are wines I’ve tried and liked. Wines that you should be able to find, afford and hopefully, enjoy.

While I always say that you should drink whatever you like, these Behind the Cork™ recommendations will give you the opportunity to try something new without fear of the unknown.
