Drink It or Dump It? The Quest for Affordable Fine Wine.
January 6, 2009 at 4:50 am 2 comments
Are you, like me, looking for affordable wine that is still a yummy treat? I am on a quest to find some wines that can be staples on my wine rack. Yes, I have no wine cellar, no aspirations to buy fine wines that are worth more than my mini van. I just want to enjoy a nice glass of wine on a Friday night.
Some wines are totally drinkable and some deserve a dump down the sink. It seems like it doesn’t matter how much you pay for a wine, sometimes it just doesn’t live up to the delight of your taste buds. I’m not a wine snob who can taste cherry, anise, peaches, and softly worn leather on my tongue or nose. I just know whether I can drink it or whether it’s so bad I need to make pasta sauce.
Anyone want to join me on my quest?

Thanks! I am going to take your list with me next week and give some of these a try. I always hear people raving about the TJ’s wine, so this gives me a place to dig in
