REVIEW: HERDADE DO ESPORÃO MONTE VELHO RED 2014

 When it comes to wine, finding a solid bottle for under $10 can be a real challenge. At this price point much of what’s out there isn’t very good, or has been engineered in a way that makes it taste exactly the way you think it would taste — usually sweet, the kind of sweet that means a nasty hangover. However, while you’re much safer in your selection if you grab a bottle that’s over $20, we understand that sometimes you just need a simple weeknight wine that doesn’t cost more than a Hamilton, yet tastes like you spent a Jackson — or should we say a Tubman? That wine is Herdade do Esporao Monte Velho Red.
