There's even Two Buck Chuck. My rule is to pay $10 or less for a bottle. I even like Gallo Hearty Burgundy. Got the big bottle at WalMart for less than 6 bucks. I drink wine every day. "A little wine, for the stomach's sake," of course.

However, using "grind" and "beans" in the same sentence does make me wince!

DH spies Picolit (an unusual Italian wine.. classified as 'dessert' but very light, not syrupy sweet) on the wine list and orders it with our duck liver app. They tried to talk us out of it, like we 'didn't know' what we doing and our meal would be ruined!
I hate eating out in the US. It's all about 'the restaurant' and the customer is just a cog. Anyway, I won't go back to L'Espalier (unless someone else is paying )
touché, justin.. I didn't knowww how snooty it would be before going there. I thought since they were 'mericans it might be different, but they were obviously 'mericans trained in France in the high arts of snootiness at an academy run by the Ministre du Morgue.You went to a snooty restaurant. You were treated snootily.

Now around where I live, it's mainly restaurant chains putting out mass-produced food, so there's really not a whole lot that's unique. But if you look, sometimes you can find a greasy spoon with really good food near the railroad tracks, or along Route 1.
