I would venture a guess that an actual French wine aint been past Birdie's lips in a long while.

That's the good stuff Jim,
"Vintner Select" no less.
Bet it ages well in the pantry. Break it out for the important guests.

Well I know for a fact he has enjoyed several Côté du Rhones with us in our camp! Well, sure....if'n yer a buying! You say that like it’s a bad thing, just Economists 101 Dude. Anyways just yesterday evening I made an important discovery: I was getting tired of getting buzzed every evening while sitting out on the front porch drinking my watered down Merlot. Instead last night I did the same thing with some cranberry grape juice that I had laying around. To my ignorant palate it tasted enough like the Merlot that I had been drinking, was even cheaper, and didn’t leave me buzzed at the end of the evening. I discovered it wasn’t so much the alcohol I wanted, but the sitting around and relaxing on the front porch While rehydrating at the end of a long day. So I’ll probably slack off on the wine consumption for a bit, and for those evenings I want to go full on wino I can get two25 ounce cans of mango Rita for five bucks Up at the corner store.

I hit the Argentina shelves a bunch lately.
But we generally always have an abundance of wine in our camp. So any of y’all are always welcome!

Been doing that a lot lately with the tea!
Laying off the wine. Mebbe a bottle every 3 weeks or so. Glass the evening meal

There’s so much good wine in this country that we sure as hell don’t need anything from France.

Ah, what the heck do you know. You're a well known aficionado of PBR.  among others.  Geno PS, who says "cheap wine" can't be "good" wine, from America. Red Mountain was good for the purposes I needed it for.

So is cran apple. Yep, stands up to 50% water really well, for like 40% of the cost of already cheap Liberty Creek Merlot. Anyhoo... I’m glad I still ain’t an alcoholic nor likely to become one.
