Ha-Ha. I switched to an Australian Shiraz (Black Opal) years ago and never looked back. I will also add that the "Black Oak" Shiraz from CA is very, very good and under $6 a bottle. Believe it or not, even Phillips (which makes Brandy and Schnapps) has an awesome Shiraz that has a screw-top, and runs about $7 a bottle!

I'm good for two bottles (of any AMERICAN combination) a week. I'm doing my share. :)

I've always purchased local wines. Now that they've changed the shipping regulations and we can ship our SCRUMPY wines out of Wisconsin, may I suggest you try:

Do you mean scrumptious or are you referring to the cider called "scrumpy"? I would assume from context the former, but the latter could be thought of as a rough apple wine, I guess.
