I just want to know when the 2-Buck Chuck Pinot Grigio will be back at Trader Joes - it was AWESOME!
Why would anyone buy French wine when we have better grapes in California ?
That's because they're descended from the Italian grapevines that were transplanted here.
My GF bought a bottle of French Wine for $5.99 the other day.
After I scolded her, I had a great laugh at the price.
I heard that California wines were owned by Italians and tended by Mexicans.
Well, all the great food you eat in the pricey Italian restaurants were cooked by Mexicans also....
There is a cold front moving down from Western Canada in the next day or two. Lower temps, strong winds and possibly some rain down to Humboldt county...
How hard can it be to boil pasta ?
Make mine Virginia wine!
Horton, Oakencroft, Barboursville, Williamsburg, Ingleside, Wintergreen...

It's hard to figure how the Frenchies can make a profit at that price.
Subsidies?
"Well, all the great food you eat in the pricey Italian

It's getting really confusing. In my area The Greek place has Mexicans doing the cooking, the Taco Bell has Vietnamese cooking and the soul food kitchen is run by a couple of white guys.
"It's okay. It certainly rates as well as any other $2 bottles of wine.
Of which there are almost none," said wine critic Frank Prial.
;o)
Holy Cow! Just think how good 2006 COULD have been if we didn't have all that global warming on!
"After being dried with a clean cloth, the glass should be stored upright so stale air doesn’t become trapped in the bowl"
I hate it when stale air is trapped in my wine glass. This situation completely ruins my wine tasting experience./sarc off.
When I sample in Napa I make it a point to annoy the people with this mentality.
I've been told that a lot of Red Zin vines in California are being yanked out in favor of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Word on the street is that if you liked Red Zin out of California (and I've had a few outstanding ones), get what you can now because it will become more "boutique" in the years to come with less and less being available (and the prices rising accordingly).
Murphy Goode had an outstanding one in "Liar's Dice". If consumed young, it was quite "spicy". The '01 drinks mighty fine right now.
...BTW, my source tells me that a lot of French stuff just isn't moving. He's got 01-02 Cru Beaujolais at $3.49...and it's just sitting there.
