As co-hosts of the Royally Obsessed podcast, we’ll admit: There are several royally-tied items on our bucket list from attending Royal Ascot to enjoying a summer picnic in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. (Yes, both are possible.) Still, top of the list for years has been to finally taste test Tignanello, the Italian Super Tuscan red wine that yielded such a major a-ha moment for Meghan Markle she decided to name her (now defunct) blog, The Tig, after it.

Tracking down a bottle was surprisingly easy once we put our minds to it. We worked with Drizly, who helped us source it from a local wine shop in Brooklyn and delivered it to our front door. (It’s not cheap—a bottle of Tignanello will set you back on average about $200, which means it’s a bit of a splurge.)
