Staff Pick

Down at Brewery Creek is a fine deal on a carmenere called Estacion, $12.50 at a private.  I went specially for my second bottle of it and there was a staff recommendation tag by Lisa, hmmm...  There are some bargains kicking around out there.  Baires from Argentina at the private shop at 25th and Oak is only $13 bucks!  I've never seen these wines at BCL...  I will do my best to discover these market-breakers, these loss leading under-cutters, so far the only upside to privatisation.  I will not, however be seen shopping for wine at walmart or zellers or whatever the kids are calling it these days no matter what Harper has been telling you.  Peace in the Middle East.

i know, i know, last october i bought wine at fred meyer. the mark up in b.c. is criminal. and now they're gonna jack it up some more and tell us we shouldn't drink so much anyway. at least i don't drive drunk in hawaii and rely on sheltered right-wing yuppies to support it. anyway, i was serious when i said i would investigate the good deals. with pleasure.
