At the end of a long day, or sometimes in the middle of a long day, having a glass of wine is the perfect way to unwind. Finding the time to enjoy your favorite red or white is hard enough, you shouldn’t have to figure out what to actually get. I realize there are quite a few of us who love the benefits of wine but can’t tell the difference between a pinot noir and a malbec, so I thought why not just find out what the experts like when they are at the grocery store and put it in a post for you? Below are three of the best grocery store wines picked by people who know wine. Can’t get to the store to pick up a bottle? Try a grocery delivery service or check out Drizly. Cheers!
Red
Pinot Noir: “Louis Jadot Beaujolais Village or Pinot Noir. It’s ubiquitous and consistent, and only $9 to $10 a bottle. Unless I’m in a specialty wine shop, I never spend more than this on a bottle of wine.” — Andrey Tolmachyov, Wine Director and Head Sommelier, Maude, Gwen Butcher Shop & Restaurant, Los Angeles, CA
White
Sauvignon Blanc: “Matua Sauvignon Blanc with my frozen pepperoni pizza.” — Jay Pyle, Assistant General Manager/Beverage Director, Rosalie Italian Soul, Houston, TX
Winery Brand
Chateau Ste. Michelle: “I usually find the wines of Chateau Ste. Michelle [are] always good values and extremely well made for the money. The reds and whites are all equally delicious!” — Barbara Werley, Master Sommelier, Wine Director, Pappas Bros. Steakhouse, Dallas, TX
