Dom Perignon '73. Now there is a tipple to smooth over any untoward occurrence on Amtrak.

Alas, Two-Buck Chuck has become Three-Buck Chuck at my Glenview Trader Joe's. The last three bottles of Lucky Chucky merlot I had were, sadly, not worth even 98 cents.
Charles Shaw is extremely inconsistent, thanks of course to its purchasing and relabeling surpluses from various wineries. Sometimes it's swill, sometimes it's remarkably good for the price.

And that is the sum total of my oenological knowledge.
