The Tuesday bottles. $30 and under, easy to open, easy to finish. These are the wines we keep stocked at home for regular nights: fresh, honest and good with whatever ends up on the plate. Grab a few and stop overthinking dinner.
Two Shepherds Soleil Albariño is a bright white for tacos and takeout, and their Wiley Carbonic Carignan is a chillable red. Mersel Wine's Phoenix Field Blend Rosé from Lebanon goes with pretty much everything. Into orange wine? Catch & Release's Block Party and Middle Child and Mersel's Phoenix Skin-Contact are easy places to start. Les Hautes Terres Là-Haut's Panorama Blanc and Ploder Rosenberg's Cara are crisp, easy whites, and North American Press Wildcard is the fun one, apples and wild grapes fermented together.
Stock-up tip: grab six or twelve bottles and the case discount kicks in, so your weeknight wine is covered for a while.
