White Tulip, Nadiv Reshit. Unfortunately many of the good ones have been bumped up to the $30-$40 range

I tried to find it before Purim but was told it's out due to shmittah.

Tzora is great, but watch for shmita wine.

Great wine but it's not in that price range. Maybe in Israel it's that cheap

Had the Alfa, Appellation, and Variations 4.

Alfa – solid, but a bit bitter
Appellation – my favorite, pretty smooth for a mevushal bottle and very rich
Variations 4 – close second, robust flavor and nice oak finish without bitterness

Guys hands down best yet. I discovered this wine and everyone’s gonna knock it bc it’s under 20$ but I couldn’t believe how good it was and it checked all the boxes for seder wine

Vintners Select Cabernet Sauvignon semi dry (non mevushal, 11.5%)
I was so surprised bc cs is the driest of them all so I figured semi dry wasn’t much better (I tried a different cv semi dry which was super dry!) but this is absolutely delicious
My taste is light and smooth, least amount of tannins possible.
My list of wines I like now expanded to 2 :)  (along w baron herzog lineage Pinot noir)
I’m still looking for recommendations among the French wines as I’m told they are generally the lightest of wines

Huge fan of Tabor wines. And they cost just $11-12/bottle. Best value by far.  It's won several metals over the years.
