Today's wine

[Glitter Brunello Super Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close Glitter Brunello]

They were doing mostly reds until recently. I'm sure there will be plenty more. I have gotten really hooked on some 'better' but not 'outrageous' Italian reds in the $20-$35 range from the site.. we tried the Lamborghini Umbria during our Sunday visit and all agreed it was delicious...

What price range are you looking for?

Cheap? I don't really know, that's how much of a novice I am. No more than $15 a bottle......is that reasonable? The last new red I tried was a chianti I bought at Trader Joe's for $3.99. Luckily, it was pretty good. How much does shipping usually run?

From that site $15 will get you a nice wine. I rarely go over $20 to $30 but have gone to $50 on that site for a Brunello. I try to buy my everyday wines that are $10 or less.

Check in every day and we will let you know what to buy.

Luanne,

You are in perfect time for tomorrow's first run of Cheapskate Wednesday
They are going to do a new wine every half hour or when the current one sells out... much more of a selection than the average day, which is usually only one or two offerings.

Keep an eye out, there have been some very decent choices under $15. I will only be here in the morning, but hopefully Frank and some others will be here to give you a nudge.

Here are a couple I've liked, in case you see them tomorrow:

Ellen Landing Riverland Petit Vedot 2001 $8.99

Tenute Silvio Nardi Rosso di Montalcino 2002
(I paid $16.99, but maybe they'll put it up under $14.99 for tomorrow... Also, I have liked all the wines from Montalcino)

Frank will have more recommendations. Have fun!! Oh, and shipping is free if you buy b/t 3 and 6 bottles, depending on the selection.

Thanks. I'm assuming that Cheapskate Wednesday is something that is on this site as well and not a separate site???? Dh is going to think you guys are really bad influences on me.

Glitter,

Frank corrected her.

My apologies...........

I had obviously not refreshed my page and see bigfrank answered with what I thought........

Luanne, Will you have access to a computer on the West Coast? I'll be on the East Coast with no computer access...........because I'll be in transit on my way back to Wisconsin

Still hoping I can get DH to watch the site for me and call me with items of interest..................

Luanne, Will you have access to a computer on the West Coast?

Uh yeah. I live out here. We actually have progressed beyond wagon trains, the pony express and the telegraph.

Then you won't be at any disadvantage. It will start at midnight EST. I'm assuming they ship to CA, just double check since a few states don't allow shipment of alcohol (I'd be shocked to find CA among them).

Next Wednesday won't work any better for me. In fact it's worse

So I might actually have an advantage? Midnight east coast would be 9 p.m. for me.
