That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m talkin&#8217; about. Another Saturday is another chance to plow through more Spanish and Portuguese white and red wines. We could do this all [...]]]></description>

Well, tBoW is gloating with the widespread endorsement of the new CHEAP WINE REALITY. It is officially and widely understood that wine prices are down across the board and bargains are everywhere.

		<description><![CDATA[Independence Day produces the usual parties, BBQs and libations. July 4th is not necessarily a wine event like, for example, Thanksgiving. Burgers, dogs and potato salad call for robust reds so tBoW expects to see plenty of Cabernets while hoping to encounter some Rhone style wines as well. And if someone should pop the cork [...]]]></description>
