Red Wines to Try that are Tasty and Approachable

Here are some red wines to buy if you're starting to get into dry red wines. I'm sharing with you wines that I have been drinking this year that I think are approachable and tasty. Some were even great as tailgate wines. I'll also share with you my new wine cooler product the @huskicooler . A perfect Christmas present for your family and friends.

i thought when you held the beaux freres bottle up, its said boons farm.....lol

[@pamelamarie4930]

thank you

[@kcb5150]

Côtes du Rhône is the easy answer, at least one without too much syrah in the blend. A lot of direct fruit, easy. After that I think Barbera d'alba or asti probably.

Winter season is when I convince people they like Italian red wine by buying lots of GD Vajra Clare JC.

Every time I hear the word Pinot I think of the film Sideways.

[@AlejandroPDX]

Agree on that Pinot from Oregon! Good stuff. I’d love to see a video about Willamette Valley wines!

[@Belassize]

Have you tried Roserock Zephirine from Oregon? 2019 is a very lovely wine.

[@gregitingen]

I wholeheartedly concur with your cuvée tardive recommendation. I served it at my families Thanksgiving dinner and it was gulped down. Good price, too.

When I see the term "approachable" in the context of wine, I think relatively inexpensive, ready to drink without much aging (also making it less likely to be very expensive), and not too complicated to understand/process. Thus, I find this can work for any wine style including bigger reds.
Holy smokes on the Austin Hope Reserve! For under $145, I got 3 premium Bordeaux blends from Oakville, Red Mountain, and St. Estephe. So far, I opened the one from Oakville and absolutely love it! While price-wise not the most approachable, it is really enjoyable to sip (and pair with food) right now!😄😋😎🍷🍷🍷

Thank you for the recommendations!
I just had a Beauiolais recently and it was great 🍷

[@uBrandn]

For those interested in Beaujolais, Louis Jadot Beaujolais Villages is a widely distributed and affordable wine! Great QPR at around $14, pairs well with holiday dishes, and great for parties because of how approachable it is.
