America’s wine shops are filled with consistently good, drinkable, cheap bottles, said Eric Asimov in The New York Times. “Such a bore!” The real challenge is to find inexpensive American wines that also “fascinate and intrigue.” The “sweet spot nowadays for great values” lies in wine treasures selling in the $10-to-$20 range. Some bottles may be hard to find, but each offers a distinctive complexity that gives “so much pleasure.”
