We just got done talking about
wines to blow a boatload of money on, so of course the natural
progression is to write an article on great wines that offer excellent value - here we're
talking wines that are all $25 or less. This is going to be a straight-forward article, listing the value wines that we recommend by varietal and also showing the average retail price of a bottle (though note that those prices will change by the vintage).
