I went to my local bottleshop today to grab a couple of matching bottles for 1) cooking a stew and 2) drinking with the stew
on the 'specials' rack was 2 buller wines, a dry white and a dry red - small almost non existent label, no year, $6.99 a bottle LOL
normally I wouldn't get something that cheap unless I knew the wine but I was curious after you mentioned the merlot. i'm wondering if these bottles are their 'practice' wines for future product lines? The staff said these had been in stock for a few months but they haven't heard anything about a merlot yet ...
anyway, so far its a bit spicy/sweet on the nose but I did just boil a bottle i guess LOL
i'll let you know how it goes!
