I visited a wine shop in Manhattan today that Carries only organic wines from small producers. None of the labels were familiar. Some unusual grape varieties. So I bought a couple of sub-$20 bottles. I will let you know how they turn out.

You two may just have different taste in wine, which is why I posted the ones that he buys on a semi-regular basis.
I'm not drinking these days, so I don't get a vote.

Updating from my Apr. 7 post above (wines from the fancy Manhattan shop) — they were both Italian. The cheaper one was actually more to my liking, very good indeed and only $11 I think.
On a side note, I am glad we are gradually withdrawing from the long-running fad for inky, dense, sweetish “fruit bomb” wines. They now remind me of cough syrup. But they’re still immensely popular.
