My Favorite Under $30 Wine + Link-Up!

Guys--I am REALLY excited about today's post! It's a little different for me especially for my Wednesday content. I don't know why I never thought to do a post about my favorite wines especially since wine is a very big passion of mine (not in a "it's a problem kind of way lol). We are really fortunate that where we live we have access to SO many wineries within an hour or two. There are a bunch of great wineries north of us in/around Frederick, MD and there are TONS in the mid-lower part of VA. When we lived in VA visiting a vineyard was one of our favorite weekend outings!

We had a trip booked to Napa last year but ended up canceling since our move from Boston overlapped with the trip. At this rate, once travel is open, I think we should just go big and go to Tuscany! Ok anyway--diving into the actual post.

Breaking down my favorites--I tried to only pick brands that I think are pretty widely accessible (leaving out some of the local wineries we love but if you're ever in the DMV feel free to message/email me if you want recommendations). 

Reds

Las Rocas - My #1 favorite wine, a red blend from Spain. Very smooth with all the oaky flavor I love! Unfortunately, I haven't found a local store yet that sells this but we had no problem when we were living in Boston. I am determined to find it this year!

Coppola Malbec - I am ALMOST exclusively a Malbec drinker when it comes to red (I do dabble in Pinot Noir & other blends sometimes). This is my absolute favorite! So smooth and rich.

Bodega Norton Malbec - Aside from Coppola, I tend to lean towards Argentinian Malbec and this one is amazing for the price. So rich in flavor and all the spice you love in a Malbec.

La Crema Pinot Noir - The first time I tried this wine it wasn't my favorite but it has definitely grown on me and now I love it! Also very smooth & full-bodied. I also discovered I specifically like the one from Monterrey. If you're a big Pinot Noir girl I highly recommend.

Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon - I think this is a fan favorite for many! I love that this one has that spice but super full-bodied taste. It's also very affordable for the quality.

Whites 

[Disclaimer: Sauvignon Blanc & Pinot Grigio only! I don't like any other white wine.]

Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc - My ride or die when it comes to white wine! So citrusy/crisp. 

Justin Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc-This is another super crisp white wine but I find it a little fruitier than the Kim Crawford. So yum!

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc-You can't go wrong with this one! Definitely has that citrus/acidic taste but is so drinkable and smooth.

Rosé

Whispering Angel-By far the best rosé on the market that I have tried! So crisp without being too sour or too sweet. I also love giving this as a gift.

Summer in a Bottle-Definitely a close second to Whispering Angel and the bottle is like a work of art!

Cote des Roses-A more budget friendly option that still tastes high quality and also has such an adorable bottle. 

Summer Water - I got a coupon code for Winc and this was one of the wines I selected. I have contemplated getting a subscription just so I can get this rosé monthly! It is awesome. So refreshing & crisp.

What are some of your favorite wines? I would love to know!
