Supermarket Wine Guide
The flip side of being an avid cook means that I’m at the grocery store on a regular basis. And as a sommelier, this also means a requisite visit to the wine department to see what’s new or case stacked for deals. While roaming through the wine aisles, I will sometimes spot a fellow shopper struggling to select a bottle of wine. I can see the hesitation in their eyes as they scan the shelves for any sign that will tell them, “Pick me! I taste good.” It’s little wonder so many people tell me they pick wines based on how the label looks. The choices are endless, how do you know what to buy? Trust me, I get it! I feel very strongly that wine should never be intimidating and that everyone is entitled to a delicious bottle. While I suggest buying your wines at a dedicated wine shop for the best variety and service, I realize we’re often pressed for time and need to make double use of a grocery store run. For those reasons, I’ve put together a list of over 50 tasty and reliable wines that can be purchased at any major supermarket. Take my Supermarket Wine Guide along with you and you’re guaranteed to find a delicious bottle that gets the job done.
