Basically, I'm giving up beer for lent, and want to tap into the wine department.

Never been much of a wine drinker. Also, I've often found that red wine gives me heartburn like a mofo (one of the only things that does). Anything inexpensive I can look for, maybe white wine or something? TIA

No boxes, please.

OP, Your best bet is to find a good local provider and ask their opinion. Not a grocery, has to be a quality store. They will usually be the most able to help you navigate their portfolio. Are you in NOLA?

If you want a decent Chardonnay the LaCrema is not a bad choice and it's about $22 a bottle. But if you spend that or I recommend that we are just "showing off."

Go to Martins on Perkins. Great, huge selection with knowledgeable workers. Go for the guys, though. The girls are just cashiers.

just go buy some $6-7 bottles of white wine and find one you like. you won't need to spend more than this

just try some different ones out and stick with the one you like

Few years ago, I never drank wine. Now, I drink it when I'm cooking at the house. I only drink a Pinot Grigio though. And I keep it in the fridge. If you don't want to wait till it chills, add 1 ice cube in it.
Will never give up beer or whiskey for lent haha

Naked foot moscato
Cheap
Sweet
$60.00 worth will take you 40 days down the road until you can get back to beer.
