LOL. Complex and rich, blackberry and currants punctuated by high notes of vanilla and prisoner lymph fluid...

I heard that was pretty good? Ever tried? I like Barefoot wine. Their pinot grigio and sparkling wines are excellent, at 4.99 and 8.99 respectively.

It’s hard to beat 2 buck chuck (Charles Shaw). Apparently it’s won a major blind tasting and spanked the french. However you need to have a Trader Joe’s to get it.

Their Merlot is truly superb.

I love a merlot that is very, very dry and loaded with tannins, it is wonderful with a pasta dish or a roast beef.

And at 4.99 a bottle, that stuff is a steal! I’ve been seriously considering getting a case or two to put in the basement for 2012!!

I thought the Chinese improved the taste of their wines by adding melamine to them.
