Uh just because I don't want to spill red wine ALL over my freshly pressed button down?

Apothic Red. It's usually around $12 at our Kroger.

Also, for me personally, at a bar the prices of wine are marked up something fierce for the quality of wine you can get. You can get a Delirium Tremens (rated one of the best beers in the world) for <$10 most places. You're lucky to get a middle-of-the-road California chardonnay for $10 (when buying the same bottle at a store would cost you $15).

Also a good point. Most bars aren't carrying good wine and the prices are high.

On the upper end Kendall-Jackson Pinot Noir. It's around the $20.00 mark, but a nice Pinot.

Wine makes me sweat more than that first line of blow.

Port Wine does that to me and makes my heart race. (But I don't get short of breath like ETB)

Any of you watch James May's and Oz's wine road trip?

Good call on the Apothic. Went to the Jungle today and saw this display.

Then went further into the Beer/Wine department and they were giving out samples of the Apothic Red and White. Very Decent wine at a low price. We bought a bottle of each. The Red is a nice little blend mainly of Zinfandel, which I'm not really fond of, but I think it's the Syrah in it that makes me like it more. Pretty light without a lot of tannins. We will drink the Red tonight with The Wife's Homemade Irish Stew....I'll drink the White tomorrow while The Wife is at work..Haha

I thought the Yuengling Bock was alright and I kind of enjoyed the Conway's Irish Ale.

It's one of the few red wines my wife actually likes.
