I’m the ANTI wine snob. I’m always on the lookout for those priced well-under $10 … I call them Tuesday-night wines. That’s because you don’t think twice about opening them on a Tuesday night (or a Wednesday, or a Thursday, etc). I haven’t had much luck with the under $5 wines — guess I’m just not cheap enough?<\/p>\n
My latest find — a fruity Pinot Noir from CA’s The Naked Grape. It’s a medium-bodied wine, not too drying on the tongue (non-astringent? non-tannic?), and pretty versatile, as are most of the pinots I consume. I pay about $7 at the local grocery store. So definitely<\/strong> a Tuesday-night wine (yes, I realize today is Monday).<\/p>\n Standard caveat<\/strong>: This is a personal recommendation. The Naked Grapers don’t know I exist and have provided neither product nor compensation for this endorsement. In fact, they’ll probably sue me if this ever gets in a search engine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m the ANTI wine snob.
