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!

Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?

I keep getting sour wines. I’ve never had this issue before but the last few bottles I got (store shelf, nothing too fancy) tasted like they were opened and left out. That gross stale sort of sour taste… but the cork was in tight and sealed. 🧐

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.
