Vino, Vino

jedishampooOh how I love the vino. We especially loved the vino on Christmas-- I believe somewhere in the vicinity of nine bottles were consumed.
But I especially love finding really good wine at a decent price. There will always be the cheap wine that tastes cheap but is drinkable and therefore worth purchasing, cheap. But on Christmas Eve I was clued in to the secret location of a little French wine shop called Marche Bacchus, tucked away inside a massive subdivision here in Las Vegas. They carry one of my favorite good deals-- Grand Mouton Noir cab/shiraz (better known as the "red sheep wine")-- for only $7.99 a bottle. I swear this tastes like $40 wine.
Veuve Clicquot(sp? better known as "that good champagne with an orange label") was a bargain at $41.99. It tasted lovely on Christmas morning with the Eggs Benedict and Hollandaise we made. And the shop contains a wondrous thing called the ORPHAN BIN. Apparently the Orphan Bin holds the very last bottle of whatever shipments they've almost sold out of. We got a $150 bottle of Spanish red for $16.99 and it was AMAZING. I love Marche Bacchus.
Now if only there was a definitive way to avoid the hangover.
