Amen
I’m drinking a complex frog red if possible
Barnyard that opens up

That’s real wine

I will admit my rib drinks fruity whites like PG daily

I bought her a chateau potelle VGS ten years ago and it was indeed buttery and pear hints
A complex white but for what that then 40 dollar wine cost today 125-300 you can get a damn good red French or a west coast varietal if u must

Or other nations too

I remember when chastened de papes were cheap

Italian mascarelli was 5.99 a bottle and now 25-30

Best wine value I ever knew btw that one

I’m the 80s I bought wine at Madison liquors in Manhattan Margaux for 38 a bottle
It’s all my Barnard assistant professor paramour wanted lol

Now wifey craves that Sancerre rosè swill

Sheep

Wine value?

A mass market wine that always scored well in the blind taste test competitions (at least in the early aughts) was Fetzer.

Good stuff, you could find it in the supermarkets and wasn’t an overpriced crap shoot as are so many wines.

Most important, if you like a wine, drink that one.
