Cheap Wine Challenge

This is why I love social media. This cheap wine challenge started with Wine Ophelia this past week on a whim (I think).  Our task? Twitter about your favorite nationally available wine with a pricepoint of $1o and under.

A bottle of Broadbent, the Outerbanks and some Spanish Mackerel (not pictured).

So, here goes my pick (drum roll, please): Broadbent’s Vinho Verde is probably, no definitely, the best white I have had for ten clams in a while. Seriously it’s like crack and sooo easy to drink at 9% alcohol. If you’re looking for a wine this summer to quaff on the deck, at the beach, with seafood, this is your ticket to paradise. It’s slightly effervescent too, which makes it even more fun to drink.

Ohhh good one. I nominated one of my favorite red wines for the #cheapwinechallenge, but this would be a very close winner for my favorite under $10 white. I went through cases of that stuff last summer… even wrote about it a few times.
Cheers

I totally got into the Vinho Verdes this past year for the crispness that the light carbonation added. Very nice.
