The July 4 holiday is a great time to celebrate the United States' wine bounty. This week we've selected wines from California, Washington, Oregon and New York that would make a fine addition to a backyard barbecue or any get-together—just make sure to stock up on enough bottles to keep the party going. We've made that easy with these $30-or-less picks.

Tasting Highlights' wine reviews are fresh out of the tasting room, offering a sneak peek of our editors' most recent scores and notes to WineSpectator.com members.
