Tis what I buy. When they have it on the shelf!!!

The Swine have spoken!

I Worked for an old guy that made his own Lambrusco, he would bring it to you a couple jugs at a time in plastic ga milk jugs.

My goodness that was some good stuff

We’re supposed to do a gift exchange with my department at work. I’m considering a bottle of Trump Meritage Merlot.

[Clutch Martin]

There are some very nice American wines.

.... What if they prefer bourbon or scotch?
Or straight cheap Vodka

I think it says “lite fuse, get away” on the label.

That is a hilarious idea!

FWIW, found a new 2 buck chuck, which wasn’t too bad. 2017 Swan Lake Petit Sirah. Swan Lake also produces other 2.99 wines, but the ones I sampled weren’t to my liking (i.e. they s*cked), but the Blue Label Petit Sirah from 2017 is available from Clarks from 2.99 and tastes better than some $15-$20 bottles. Unfortunately, it’s Californian, has Sulfites, not as much as others, but some after-effects the following morning, due to the sulfites.

“Obviously “ an anti-Semitic row of bottles. That little 20/20 bottle is stuck right in between two tall clear bottles of cheap wine just make it look even shorter! 8 <)

But Mogan-David 20/20 is always popular

Modan-David is the only wine I know that goes with peanut butter.

If you want to get rid of talkative wine snobs, announce that wine is just fancy grape juice. Then mix 2/3rds Wal-Mart box Chard with enough substandard Merlot to produce a pleasing ruby color, add a few ice cubes, swirl the glass as you hold it to a bright light and wax enthusiast about the color and aroma, point out the skinny ‘legs’ and fruity taste. Offer them a taste of yours and a full glass if they love it as much as your dog, poor some in his bowl, then sit down and tune in to Law & Order reruns or Forensic Files. Wine snobs will suddenly remember previous obligations.
