Need some recommendations on Red Wines from Wine & Spirits under $30. I tend to favor bitter over sweet flavors more. Please give me some to try these next few weekends!

Not self promoting here… but feel free to follow me on Vivino. I have been adding quite a few ratings there for ones I like!

Bordeaux is good value for money, is dry and has a slight bitterness. Go with Left Bank

like

‘Bitter’ isn’t a thing really. If you’re looking of tannic but not that heavy, go for Nebbiolo (Barolo barbaresco anything from piedmonte) or a cab franc. Don’t do a Bordeaux.. French cab savs are tricky. You should also consider an Aussie cab sav (try coonawarra).
If you like American, try storypoint or juggernaut - both sub 20 and great wines! (Not as tannic as Nebbiolo but heavier)
Petit Verdot is quite awesome but hard to find 100% pv

like

Look for wines with high percentages of petit verdot. I find that varietal is heavy on a bitter flavor that I’m not a fan of, but others love in Cabernet-style blends. It’s popular in many of the flagship Napa reds.

like

Look for carignan and tannat grape varieties. Also, if you see a Madiran designation, give it a try.

I won’t plug a specific wine subscription box but bottles within are usually of high quality and sold for $20-ish each so that’s been a good way to explore new wines!

I have ADD and occasionally make small mistakes in my work, like leaving a word missing when editing sentences, small formatting errors or leaving an internal comment in drafts sent to clients.

Big fan of this one. Not super bold. More velvety. Subtle leathery taste, hints of vanilla! I picked up a half case for 120, or $20 a bottle! I may actually buy more. 8/10 for price and taste. Very elegant.

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.
