A lovely bouquet...
Found this site of interest: Cheap Wine Reviews. I'm a big fan of Yellowtail shiraz; however, I'd like to try some other cheap wines without dealing with real stinkers. I hate hate hate wine that has that plastic-babydoll aftertaste. I've winced from this effect many times while drinking various reds and whites. I'm not sure what kind of grape or processing causes that particular quality in a wine, I just know it's not for me. That's the big reason I've stayed with the Yellowtaiil shiraz --- it doesn't have that funky taste mucking it up. Plus, shiraz is typically a nice warm chewy wine.
Apparently Trader Joe's is the place to go for good cheap wine. Unfortunately we don't have such establishments around here. Any recommendations, Gentle Readers?

hmm, grapevine market, world market(cost plus, whatever) and costco all have a good wine selection with a good variety on the low price end.
Trader Joe's is nice and kinda fun, for yummy treats as well as wine.
On a slightly different subject, cheap beer brands, to all you doubters out there, here's some experts that agree with me on the Schlitz.
Schlitz? Nice. PBR? Nice. Lone Star? Not-so-nice.
You know what cheap beer I'd love to have is Old Style. My grandpa used to drink it. You can't get it around here.
*complete silence*
Jason Kelly Johnston: So you're asking if I love PBR?
Prophet: (what?) ... uh yes?
JKJ: Cause I DO!

Ooooh, Trader Joe's! I had my share of 2 and 3 buck chuck, and I must say it was "so fine." I also would go to tj's after eating sushi to buy mochi, japanese ice cream balls. mmmm. mooooochi...
I find a nice glass of Moose Ass chardonnay quite refreshing.
Moose Ass—crystal clear, like snow-melt dripping off an icicle on the eaves of your Alaskan hippie cabin.
Moose Ass—fulfilling, like a really good bowel movement, grumped out on a crisp autumn day in your outdoor privy.
Moose Ass—goes down smooth, like the big ass cup of lukewarm coffee you’ll need tomorrow to fight off the hangover you’ll have after a long night of drinking too much Moose Ass.
Moose Ass. Just look for the moose ass on the bottle.
ha ha, prophet said "balls"...
hee hee, juice said "ass"...
I just discovered that my LLS (local liquor store) has a bargain wine bin...picked up a couple of Australian Shirazes for $3.99, and a local wine that I know I like (or at least think I do...I remember going back to their booth at winefest 3 or 4 times, but the guy pouring the wine was pretty hot, so that may have been the reason) for $4.99!
