Impress wine enthusiasts, broaden your palate and find a wine that won’t break the bank. With thousands of wines available, choosing the best can be a rather daunting task, but Paul Vernon, owner of Top Ten Wines, offers a bit of advice: Get a variety. So whether you're going out or staying in, Vox, picked three of our favorite wines from Hemingway's, Top Ten Wines and Bleu.
Hemingway’s
Red Wine: Casas Patronales 2007
This Chilean red, favored among Hemingway’s serving staff, has a well balanced acidity with chocolate notes
and a velvety feel.
Price: $8 a glass, $13 a bottle in store, $28 a bottle in restaurant
Top Ten Wines
Sparkling Wine: Gerard Bertrand
Hailing from the birthplace of sparkling wines in southwestern France, last year’s best-selling bubbly at Top Ten is made with a yeast that gives it a doughy quality and a brioche smell.
Price: $17 a bottle
Bleu
White Wine: Picket Fence Chardonnay
Aged in oak, this full-bodied, fruitier-flavored pour will complement any fish or vegetarian meal.
Price: $5 for 3 oz, $9.50 for 6 oz
