[quote=nocommonsense]I got a bottle of Chardonnay for $2 at Stater Brothers the other day. You read it right–$2 bucks. On one hand it shows you how cheap I am :); on the other hand, I’m simply no wine snob and am blessed with a nondiscriminating palate. I think we’re the most manipulated generations of human history and the quality difference in wines is mostly marketing.
Try the $2 and $100 wines side by side and tell me if you can tell the difference, or if the difference is worth $98.[/quote]
This is the reason I started the thread. I used to think they were all pretty much the same until I tried a couple of the recommendations on the old wine thread. I was pleasantly surprised, but I don’t want to have to try a bunch of $20 wines to find a couple I like when there are folks here who know what their talking about.
