Holiday Wine Guide: Wine Critic Elin McCoy Recommends Great Tasting Wines for Under $50

Since Holiday season has been around the corner, many folks accentuate their table with the great food with some company, and real good wine to go with their dish. So the question goes. Is it possible to drink an in-expensive wine? This question was just recently answered by Elie McCoy, Bloomberg's wine and spirits critic. She mentioned that while it's tough to look for wines that are priced easy on the pocket, it is still possible. Here are her tips:

First thing that she would do she says is to look for a non-vintage bled. Introducing the wine called, Beilecart-Salmon Brut Reserve. This wine produced in Champagne, France will only cost you around $49.95. She mentioned showing in her demonstration that this kind of wine has lots of freshness. It is light, but not super light and that it makes you happy or rather it should. If it doesn't, then she would rather not have you serve it over meal.

The second one she introduced is a wine of unfamiliar great variety that comes from the Napa Valley. The Annia Masican, it has 32% chardonnay and has an almond scent. You will definitely love the crisp flavor that it brings and enjoy it with a variety of dishes.

According to the manufacturer of Massican, this one is their largest bottling and from the vintage bitle in March up until 7 months after the harvest. Annia Massican costs around $34.

Last but not the least is the 2014 Clos de la Roilette Tardive. It's a red beaujolais wine that is dark and has depth. Price at around $27, this yummy kind of wine will be a great compliment to one of your holiday dish. Elie, mentioned that this can be aged from 5-10 years and would taste a lot better.
