Das Texan Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 For example, Two buck Chuck (or is it three buck chuck now) from Trader Joe's has beat bottles of wine that are 10x it in price multiple times.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierremvp1 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Go for Silver Oaks at Costco for $60 or so. That's good enough. It's a big cab. The thought and the value will impress. You're not going to impress a wine affcianado with something more expensive that you found here on mb.com from some guy that eats and shits taco bell...and talks about it.coming and going.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollythewog Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Big $$$ in wine doesnt always mean great taste and nose.  Yeah, I agree but for this purpose (long story) it was more about a special occasion kinda thing then really getting him a tasy wine for the buck if that makes sense!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollythewog Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 How did the event go?  Well, we had to cancel tbh because of his health. I can go more into it on the other board if you'd like, but outcome was not good (ie worst possible outcome).  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
