Obsession: Cheap Wine Recommendations Easy to Swallow

Fighting my way through the holiday shopping crowds last week, I caught the tail-end of NPR's Fresh Air in between stops. Wall Street Journal's famed wine columnists and most-charming married duo, Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher, offered wine recommendations for gifts (and for supping) that are under $10. It was just the counsel I needed to leave the rabble and tension behind.

Favorites include Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon from Chili, Torrontés and Malbec from Argentina, or the bubbly Cava from Spain.

About Mod City Mom

After becoming mothers, sisters Sarah Romine and Leah Weyandt wanted to marry the activities and interests that they experienced before motherhood with their new found lives with children. This was not always an easy task—traveling to obscure places, shopping at off-beat boutiques, and sipping lazy-afternoon cocktails doesn't always fit neatly with parenthood. Stemming from their frustration, they meticulously searched, and continue to search, for activities, establishments, and entertainment that they take pleasure in and their families benefit from. The result? Mod City Mom.
