You pick the bottle with the nicest label, pay twelve dollars, and it tastes like grape jelly. Philippe, who grew up in a Bordeaux vineyard near Saint-Emilion, shows you which grocery store reds under fifteen dollars actually deserve a spot on your table. He names three popular bottles to skip, then counts down seven reds he buys himself, from Bogle Old Vine Zinfandel to a ten dollar Merlot that drinks like a thirty dollar bottle. Along the way you learn why screw caps aren’t a warning sign, what the word Reserve really means on an American label, and five simple things to check before you pay. No cellar talk, no snobbery, just better wine for the same money.
