All the wine, none of the price. We’ll be featuring a bunch of everyday favorites that won’t break the bank.

I love the saying “Tuesday Night Wine” because it conjures images of life so perfectly. Tuesday night is typically the beginning of the work week for most, and still has some of the anxiety of Monday lingering. There’s the anticipation of Wednesday, hump-day coming in the am, but for now, the mind is occupied by an ever-growing to-do list, groceries, errands, budget needs, and on and on. Tuesday’s can be stressful, and wine for Tuesday nights need to meet a couple of criteria. They shouldn’t be too overwhelming, heady, or high in alcohol, after all, you need to be functioning bright and early Wednesday morning. They should be versatile with food, if your Tuesday night meal consists of leftovers from the weekend or a spur of the moment take-out/eat-in decision. And most of all, Tuesday Night Wines should be easy on your wallet.

A great region for this is Bordeaux. While known for their regal ability to age gracefully throughout the decades, 80% of Bordeaux wines made are in the “affordable” wine category. This is the area we’ll be tasting through on Wednesday, with wines from Entre deux Mers, the Right Bank, Left Bank, Graves, and we’ll even finish with a 375 ML Sauternes!
