It’ll be here Wednesday! I’m getting excited about this whole wine thing. 😉

The hijacks are great, which means they’re not really hijacks, right?

My wife and I really enjoy wine and we go through a lot of it. It can get expensive, so we try to keep each bottle between $8 - $12 unless it’s for a special occasion. We have found a good number of reliably drinkable wines in this price range. We have also found some stinkers, but then we know not to buy them again.
