Why follow my blog and my way of rating wine?  It sure would be nice to be able to order Opus 1 or Le Montrachet, but if you are like the general population you don’t have money to burn.  Hey we’re in the midst of a recession and we all need to cut back, but wine is a necessity of life.  My philosophy is “Life is too short to drink crappy wine, but you don’t need a million bucks to drink good wine.”   I’m here to try as many affordable wines as possible and while I’m discovering some real gems – I’ll also be able to steer you clear from any undesirables bottles!  I will try to let you know where I found these babies.
