1. ugh…I'm a wine lover and through all of the blind tastings I've done over the years...

…and all the things I've learned in my wine club, going on wine tours, spending waaaaay too much time in Napa and Tuscany the thing that I've been consistently told by wine experts is at the end of the day PRICE DOESN'T MEAN SQUAT. You know what a "good" wine is??? ONE THAT YOU LIKE!!

My go-to wine, which I was introduced to at a blind tasting and which was overwhelming chosen as THE BEST pinot noir by all present this one particular evening, is an $8 bottle from Australia. When my wine buddies (the snobby kinds) come over for dinner or cocktails, I decant it so they can't see the label. And everyone raves about it--which makes it all the more brilliant when I tell them what it is.
