Reliable Restaurant Wines
Reliable Labels and Producers
A number of subscribers have asked for not just specific recommendations (which is what we do in each issue of the Wine Hotlist and the Wine Minute), but general guidance on reliable producers. These producers offer tasty, high quality wines for less than $15, and often less than $10 retail. Restaurant markups are often 200%, or even 300%, so a wine that costs $10 in a wine shop may well cost $20 (or more) in a restaurant. To give you a decent shot at a sure winner, here's our current "favorite" list of dependable sources. Print this page for your next trip to your local wine shop, or even better, to your favorite restaurant. You'll have a secret weapon for choosing wines (it will be our secret).
