    It seems to me you should go to the souce for great wine:

    www.bumwine.com

    A quick review from the site says it all

    "The great street wines are pretty much evenly priced, and range between $1.10 and $2.80, depending on the tax and transportation costs in your area. Of course, with all five, the first sip is always the foulest. You will feel a trail of flames all the way down your esophagus and into your stomach. We do not recommend chugging any of these beverages, but you don't want to drink too slow or it will get piss warm. The bottle tells you to serve very cold, and we recommend heeding those words. Nobody in any of our tests dared to drink more than 750 mL, and we do not recommend even that much. Go with the 375 mL bottle where avaliable, and see how that sits with you before proceeding. Anything more and you are risking a black out. Don't drink too much of any of these or you might find yourself at the local middleschool sniffing bicycle seats. You may even worship the sun."

    Ahhhh, fine wine. It's not just a drink....it's a lifestyle

    I got a case of the new Stu Pedasso Zin today. At $6 a bottle, this is an awesome find. Get a case from www.topolos.com! They added 'Sonoma Beach' on the verbiage (get it?) haha.

    While I haven't cared for many of the wines I've tried I must say that the best I've had is a Riesling from Inniskillin (Niagara Region winery).

    I guess I need to get out there & try more.....
