We’ve had a number of new threads about affordable wines that have popped up recently, and I thought that it might be useful to collect them here, in the section of the board that is dedicated to people who are new to the hobby, so that they could more easily find them.

Great Cremant recs are welcomed as well!
Inspired by the great thread started by @Robert_Dentice and @Jayson_Cohen ’s idea, I figured I would start this thread. I am by no means a natural wine expert but I’ve really enjoyed a lot of those I’ve tried. Please let’s not devolve into a thread trying to define natural wine! I’m hoping this thread will help forumites find new bottles to try.
I’ve been on a huge German wine kick lately and I’ve been able to find a lot of great recommendations on this forum, for which I am grateful. Just tonig…

Excellent idea to add a directory thread. Very cool to see all the action coming out of the thread about recruiting new, younger members.
