I think the future ahead is going to be a very intersting one indeed. Will wine lovers contine to buy vintage french wine or turn to the 2 buck chuck?
I really hope wine wont turn to such dark times.

Trader Joe’s proprietary sparkling wine is a great deal for $4 a bottle - not for an uber-special occasion, but for any other night that you feel you need a few bubbles.

Nice title and series concept. I’m looking forward to it as well. I’m glad to hear people continue to enjoy as much wine as before…and think you’ll have lots to talk about. Especially if you include tips like stores that discount 10-15% if you buy 6 at a time and other wine club like deals. (free shipping, case discounts, etc.) Because they are out there.

Sorry I missed meeting you at #wbc! Next time.

Back when I was in college, I always enjoyed the $12 Gallon jugs of Carlo Rossi Sangria. Surprisingly good for the price.

Well, if we must bring up extremes for the lowest of low prices; Trader Joe’s Charles Shaw wine of course. Which given it’s price, doesn’t taste like two-dollars.

How much more extreme can one get?
