I hope Mike purchased some of that generic 99 cent Pepto-Bismol to go with that 99 cent wine. He’s gonna need it. Trust me. I’ve been there.
I had some 99c store wine which was a Chardonnay from an Australian vineyard, and honestly it was better than some of the swill from Ralphs or Trader Joe’s (when youre going budget). I went back and bought a case.
I wonder if they fertilize the vineyards with kangaroo guana.
Seriously, though, Australian wines have become quite dependable for quality. There are some terrific Shiraz-Merlot hybrids coming from Down Under, almost all of them very affordable.
