"My first choice is definitely the Untamed Vine. I think that this definitely showed everything that I love about California and California wines."

One thing that many of the reviewers did agree on was that most of these wines are worth their price.

There's more to sparkling wine than just Champagne. Prosecco from Italy and Cava from Spain generally cost less but are often their own enjoyable experience.

These wines will often have "above-board agricultural practices, native-yeast fermentation, and no additives beyond minimal sulfuring."

While canned wines won't replace savoring a truly great bottle, they're fun for picnics and rooftops alike.

Wine-tasting is a five-step process — look, swirl, sniff, sip, savor — that starts before you even taste the wine.

Many of the virtual tastings are free to join, and some ship wine right to your door as part of the package.

Diamond suggests different wine regions for three varieties that can be surprisingly affordable: Muscadet, Rosé, and Côtes Catalanes.
