if you are near a trader joe
go for their signature wine
nicknamed 2 buck chuck
its very cheap stuff but tastes good and is highly rated

as for other shops go to bev mo and buy their signature or go for the wines with the highest ratings

grow some and drink the beer or whiskey! :p

otherwise, if you want to be like my girl, you can drink three blind moose. it is a relatively new wine that is on the up and up list. you can still get it for cheap, but not for long.

Sorry, but you don't get to graduate straight to wine. The proper sequence is to drink a lot of beer until you actually learn to like it, and then start on the wine.

In the end that is all that matters:evil:


Just remember, if you lose control of your bladder, remember that that much alcohol went through yoru liver okay, and you could probably do it few mroe times:beer:

Thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up heading over to Trader Joe's and picked up a couple of bottles of what looked good. I've never been there before and wasn't too thrilled about their selection, but overall i think it was worth it. Next time I'll just order online or head out to Whole Foods.

After all those years of never attempting to purchase liquor or alcohol underage, THEY DIDNT EVEN CARD ME. I was sort of dissapointed. oh well.

Here's the pic of what i bought

When you've developed a taste for wine, try La Crema Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast

yep. looks like the $1.99 trader joe special. or as others have affectionately called it, the "two buck chuck". if anything, use charles shaw as a cooking wine.

You should've went to Costco and pick-up a bottle of the special in their wine section.

I'd recomend trying out a bunch of different wines.

it took me a long time before I found a type of wine that I really, really enjoy drinking (reisling)
