8. Does it taste good?

:shrug:

9. It's drinkable

but not great. Wine snobs hate it. The proletariat does not care.

12. I am in no way a wine snob

but I think it sucks. Way too sweet. Granted the second bottle we opened was a little less sweet but I still didn't like it at all!

On edit, I had the Cabernet.

14. Do they make Champagne?

11. I have never had it, but people rave about it

My favorite wine is Gancia Asti.. I think it's not sold west of the Mississippi.. At least it never used to be.. We would have friends send it to us pre-internet..I have never tried to buy it online.. I drank enough in college to last a lifetime anyway :)

2. Charles Shaw

"Two Buck Chuck" Trader Joe's has it. But it's $2.99 a bottle in Chicago. Terrific value.

4. There are many fine $2 wines

Boone's Farm, Cisco, Thunderbird, Mad Dog, and Wild Irish Rose are all popular choices. :)

17. Hope you haven't gone there, Sandpiper.

I got on the Night Train once years ago. Satanic hangover.

18. Not since

My high school and early college days. ;-)

19. Got any horror stories you can remember? n/t

[Sandpiper]

20. I'll just say

That Boone's Farm Sunpeak Peach tastes a lot better going down than coming back up.

21. My best friend in high school vomited that flavor up in my car

I swear that I couldn't get the smell out of my car and I drove it for 5 years after she :puke:. The junkyard must have smelled like the ripple PU.

5. it's slightly higher in the Viginia TJs, like $3.99

But still, it is an awesome everyday kind of Cab. I keep a few bottles on hand, can't beat the price.

You all should try the Kempton Clark MAD Zin also from TJs at $6.99. It is darn good. We battled over the bottle at the Christmas dinner table.

[CanuckAmok]

16. "Rotting Grape" is $6, at the BC liquor store, and it's not bad...

15. Here's the wine I like.. damned hard to find

Have no idea what it says or how much it costs now.. I have not had it in years.. I used to carry a label in my wallet, in case I saw it.. I do remember it as pricey, and I did not want to buy the wrong kind.. I never found it, and eventually threw the label away
I only found it online in Italian :shrug:
