I used to be such a wine snob. I got over that though. Now I am all about the "value wines".
You can find decent wine that doesn't mean your kids are going to be begging for book money in college.
Australia has so many wonder imports now. They are the new France in wine. We had this bottle of Shiraz with our spaghetti dinner tonight and it was really nice. Granted, for a shiraz, it could have been a bit more berry-ish but it was good. And under ten dollars.
Okay so the way I am holding this bottle of wine looks somewhat pornographic. Don't go getting ideas and all.
Have you tried Trader Joe's for some good, cheap wines? I'm not a wine drinker myself, but everyone I work with raves about it there. I think the closest one is 14 and Orchard Lake. *sigh* I love Trader Joe's.

Trader Joe's has a wonderful line of wines - Two Buck Chuck!
Lisa, I just had to come visit since I read so many wonderful things about you on Miss Loretta's site!
Watch how you hold the next bottle of wine!

I was going to make the Trader Joe's suggestion, too! They have great prices on wine, I think if I remember from their grocery bags, there is one in Ann Arbor. It's a great store, I love it, unfortunately our closest one is in a suburb of Indianapolis.

Yeah, love the photo, made me wish I was hung like a 750ml bottle of shiraz.
Okay, a late night of late port and no filter between the wrinkled parts of the brain and the fingers on the keyboard.
g'night
