More Cheap Reds and Whites to Drown the Blues

homercheapwine.jpgThe Fridays aren't going to get less Black any time soon, and only bottles of red and bottles of white can lighten them up...right? The NY Post reports that, like Two-Buck Chuck Shaw before them, some magical drunken fairies called The Wine Group have saturated New York City with $3.99 bottles of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay. And you better believe that Manhattanites are hittin' that juice hard; "At Gotham Wines on 94th Street and Broadway, the cabernet sauvignon has become the store's best-selling California wine." Ah, cheap wine, the cause of and the solution to all of life's problems (to paraphrase the immortal Homer J.).

It's really good. I mean, like even if it was a 10 dollar bottle I'd take it.

From the same people who brought us Franzia. I'll have to give this a shot 'cause some of their non-boxed wines are good.

Great to hear that scrounging for change can produce a bottle of wine!

Ah, the wonderful wines of Lodi. Pour over ice and enjoy!
