Top 4 Red Wines from Winc

in , ,

Tasting new wines has easily become one of my favorite hobbies and I have been wanting to share a wine related shopping guide for a while. I often share my love for wine on Instagram- whether it’s my grocery store favorites or when I’m trying something new. I have become pretty good at finding yummy options at affordable prices. Generally, when I shop for wine I aim for bottles that average at about $15.00 - $20.00 USD. I have ordered from Winc twice and have tried 8 different options on their site, so I figured I would share a list of my favorites thus far. Now that many of us are practicing social distancing, it’s the perfect time to try new online services like this one!

  1. Lost Poet | Red Blend (California/Sustainable): Typically, when I shop for wine the label does not draw me in first. I usually look at the price point and then read the description on the back for more details. Lost Poet is an exception to this rule for me. The branding is on point and definitely piqued my interest. The design is minimalistic and thoughtful with poems included on each label. The wine itself is a red blend that tastes deep upfront, but ends with a soft aftertaste. This red blend is approachable for a variety of taste buds and occasions.

  2. Folly of the Beast | Pinot Noir (Central Coast, California/Sustainable/Vegan): Folly of the Beast is right up my alley- a silky Pinot Noir with a luxurious finish. This flexible medium bodied wine can be had on its own for leisure drinking or matched with a yummy dinner.

  3. Matchlock | Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles, California/Sustainable): I was pleasantly surprised by Matchlock because this Cabernet Sauvignon is full bodied, yet beautifully balanced. This wine is ideal alongside a nice dinner, but can easily be enjoyed by itself as a rich dessert.

  4. Chop Shop | Cabernet Sauvignon (California/Sustainable): Chop Shop lies on the fruit forward end of the spectrum. It is not as deep as other Cabernet Sauvignons which is great for those who prefer wines with a smooth finish. Best for easy drinking alongside a casual dinner.
