There are some excellent wines available between $10 and $20 a bottle. Visiting a winery in your own backyard can be a mini-vacation, too!

Maryland has recently started a program, Maryland’s Best, encouraging people to buy “local.” The unfortunate point is that they did not mention wine in their free pamphlet but the website lists Maryland wineries. Maryland has 23 open wineries producing more than 300 wines and more wineries are opening this year.

Why not check out wineries in your own backyard?

I’ve had the Hugues Beaulieu Picoul. It *is* a very good wine and a very good bargain.

Picpoul is a good producer which maintains great acidity – even in places like the central and eastern parts of Paso Robles.

I appreciate all tips on affordable wine!

If you can hit the right sale at Union Square Wines
try the Wolffer Rosé from Long Island
which I saw somewhat recently for under $9.
Light pink and full of strawberries with a touch of minerality
and citrus-
Quite divine!

Maybe it’s time to consider a wine pairing challenge based around ambient temperature. IE, For the cold, foggy San Francisco summer I’ve been drinking Gulfi’s Rossojbleo ’06 Nero d’Avola, which, as I’d hoped, is a bracing blast of southern Mediterranean sunshine cut with enough acidity to work swimmingly on carbonara night Da Spume.
