Good Wine Under $20

Good Wine Under $20 does exactly what its title promises: It's devoted to tasty wines that won't break the bank. The blog is perfect for those of us who want to learn more about wine, but aren't totally sure where or how to start. Instead of getting a numerical rating, each wine receives a "QPR"--quality to price ratio--score, and the author writes about wine in a chatty, not-too-technical way (recently, on Pinot Grigio: "I often feel like Goldilocks when tasting Pinot Grigio. Some of them are too bitter. Some of them are too sweet. Some, too tart. Some of them are too fruity. Why are wines made with this grape so often out of balance?") This blog is an especially good place to start if you're just getting into the wine blogosphere because of its long blogroll of other wine blogs (including winery blogs and international wine blogs). To browse the site by topic ("Africa," "gifts for wine lovers," "Friday nights in"), scroll all the way down the left-hand column. You'll definitely find something new to try next time you go to the wine store, and you'll learn a lot about wine in the process.
