Vinepair writer Tim McKirdy has rounded up 20 terrific value wines from around the world that are sure to over-deliver on quality for the price point in his recent round up, “20 of the Best Dry Wines Under $20, by Country.” We are delighted that two VINTUS wines were selected for the story, the Guigal Cotes du Rhone Rouge 2015 and Errazuriz Max Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, and admit that we regularly bring these bottles out with us for dinners and for effortless entertaining. Of the Guigal, he notes “this is a great bottle to start exploring Rhone Valley reds. Hints of black pepper on the palate add a savory quality to an otherwise smooth, fruity blend.” He adds that the lively acidity in the Errazuriz Cab “keeps you coming back from more, and at $17 a bottle, you can afford to pop open another as soon as you finish the first.” Read the full list of wines and detailed tasting notes here
