Every October, we conduct a blind tasting of 50 red and white wines called Plonkapalooza and invite three distinguished sommeliers from area restaurants to select wines under $15 that retailers have nominated. In the end, we tally each taster’s favorite wines and offer the entire list so you have a guide to use for the rest of the year. Take a look at this year’s process and see which wines impressed.
