There are no 'great' wines at grocery stores...

“some goof bottles” ?

Article left out a great line of Italian reds that are at our grocery store. Montepulciano d’ Abruzzo, from various vintners. $13-$16. They win a lot of tasting contests. We were excited when City Market started carrying them. There are quite a few vintners using the grape, Frontiere (has a piece of vine tied to the bottle) is a favorite. Quercio is tops but hard to find, he only produces 1200 cases a year.

Fred G. Sanford:
Listen, I went through a lot of expense to make this a romantic evening. I even got some pink Champagne chilling in the refrigerator.

Lamont Sanford:
You bought Champagne?

Fred G. Sanford:
Well, not really. It’s really ginger ale and Ripple. See, I call it Champipple.

Meiomi pino noir at Walmart, $20. It has a screw top, but don’t let that fool you.

You’re welcome.

Does the wine come in a box, have a twist top, or do you need a cork screw to open it? That is how I judge wine.

[SaxxonWoods]

By the way, I live in a town of 2,800 that has 32 wineries. You can get all the wine you want free just by dropping in and tasting at a few.

I like wine that tastes good to me.
