I am in complete agreement that just because a wine is cheaper doesn't mean it's bad....my fave is a local Virginia wine that is $8.75 a bottle.
:D I remember Boone's Farm...Strawberry Hill was my favorite!
Moosmom,
I saw that post you put about Target and veterans. I heard about that just yesterday.
It is an urban legend, please see the following link.

Target's cool, I love shopping there.
I get wine from a local spirits store owned by the nicest man. Boy, does this guy know his wines. He is so helpful. You can ask him any question, talk about what you like/don't like, what food you're serving, etc. And he will recommend a wine.
He has never sold me anything over $20 and says some of the best wines available are under $15. Even $10.
OMG!!
Thunderbird!! The last time I heard THAT, I was working on an ambulance in CT and we picked up a balkie (slang for "drunk") in an adult movie theater!!!
Sevens,
Thanks for the update!! I stand corrected. Should I correct my post or just leave it???
How 'bout...
Cold Duck...
Blue Nun...
"Featured Beverages" :p at the Sporty Car Race Track
on Friday and Saturday nights... :rolleyes:
(MANY years ago...) ;)
I shudder. Next you will be recommending Sloe gin....:D :eek: :D
Yes, where DO you find these things Jonza!:D I'm with you Edwina's Secretary! These feet will never step foot in a Walmart's! Did you remember to mention the millions of dollars of uncompensated break, lunch/dinner time? Grrrr! I'm sorry, but I could almost smell the "burnt rubber" from here! ROFLOL!
Nasty Spumante???:D:D:D Sure, now! Where was WalMart back in my nursing schools days when Tango and Thunderbird were the choices of all descerning underaged imbibers? Ok, for really special celebrations, Lancers!
Randi, I love Pinot Grigio, with or without fish! :p Have you tried Pouilly Fusse? My favorite!
Sloe Gin Fizz....Now that's a trip down memory lane! And Harvey Wallbangers and Tequilla Sunrises!:D Phred, I puked my guts up )(my one and only time) on Cold Duck after my first big New Year's celebration, senior year in high school. Ewwwwwwwwww, I can't even type the name!
LOL!!
I think this would really sell well.. 7. NASCARbernet*
Lancers.....there's one I forgot (thankfully!) Nice bottles, good candle holders....bad, bad wine!
Ha Pouilly Fuisse. Love that. Am I allowed to say that I love French wine. Since South African, Australian and Califronian is so fashionable here the French has come to a much better price quality relation than it used to have. (BTW: I love Californian and even Oregon wine but the best aren't exported.)
WalMart: we have a chain here called Schlecker. I never buy there for the same reasons you mentioned.
Doesn't this thread belong in the dog house?

I was walking down Sunset Boulevard when a woman approached me and asked the same thing.
She wanted 50 dollars....:confused:
I kept walking....
When I was a kid I thought Lancer's was so cool... my mom liked to drink it. Later I realized that she just bought what ever was cheapest - kind of sad really.Quote:

Fortunately she got off the booze but it took a long time.

At last! It is 5:00 pm. This thread has made me so thirsty.... I'm going to have a glass of Chateau Traileur Parc !
Oh, I had a set of those - a matched pair. And it was so "in" to have the candle wax all dripping down the sides......a testament to cheap candles as well.Quote:
