Kevin Diamond is a sales representative for a New York-based wine importer and distributor, and the cocreator of comedy wine podcast,Although most restaurants and bars have shuttered due to COVID-19, Diamond says there are still plenty of ways to get your wine fix from home.
He also suggests different wine regions for three varieties that can be surprisingly affordable: Muscadet, Rosé, and Côtes Catalanes. Six months ago, I was a Brooklyn-based wine salesman, helping restaurants and shops across the five boroughs as they crafted their booze selection.
Here's a workaround: Say you're buying six to 12 bottles at a time to reduce the number of trips you're taking. Start by picking four or five of your favorites and ask for a blind recommendation for the rest. They'll already have an idea of how you drink from the first handful you've chosen, and a good idea of what your budget is. As an added bonus, this will allow them a chance to flex their wine-brains, something I'm sure they'd love the opportunity to do right now.
Muscadet is best known as a young, fresh, salty wine often served with oysters, and these bottles can bring a lot of joy, often for less than $20. But you can also find some hidden gems here: Older vintage Muscadet made by some of the masters will begin to drink like Chablis for at least half the price. Many people think of the Whispering Angels of the world when it comes to rosé: something, light, pale-salmon in color, with little taste, served teeth-shatteringly cold.
