Here is an idea because you clearly enjoy wine stuff. I can check wine reviews online, but as a total wine noob, a) I don't want to shell out big bucks b) lot of the recommendations are not available at the local chain. What I want is for someone to provide recommendations from a given online store; done by a real person.
Not parent, but you might try Wine on a Dime reviews on YouTube (reviews wines under $20) or WineAndCheeseFriday.com (reviews various wines including easy-to-find ones).
Full Disclosure: I am affiliated with the latter :)
