And yet, good wines don't have to be very expensive Valentine's Day is one of those classic occasions for a couple to toast with champagne over a romantic dinner and candlelight. The fine dining restaurants at the Coast casinos are...

Wines do not have to be expensive to be good. There is a store I go to where they buy over-runs from other stores.

I can buy an excellent wine anywhere from $3.00-5.00 a bottle. I love it after they ring up the sale and tell you how much you saved.
Last time I spent $65.00 and I saved $70.00! It's an amazing deal.

Trader Joe's usually has great deals on wine. I always get some when we visit the one in Columbus.

My husband likes a Lambrusco they have there. It's a very inexpensive kind of every day wine that's somewhat lower in alcohol content. The only brand we can get here is the Riunite and it's okay but they have a less mass produced brand there, I can't remember the name right now though.

We drank Lambrusco when we were first dating. I recall it is a sweeter wine.

Over the years the tastebuds must have changed because I love Chianti, Zinfandel or Pinot Noir. Oregon produces some wonderful Pinots.

We also use to drink Rhine wine on the rocks. How times have changed!

My husband also likes Pinot Noir. He will not drink any white wines.

There is a really great Pinot Grigio from Italy that I love. Got it at my special discount store and now they are sold out. That's the only problem. If you find a wine there you like, you have to buy it then and there. They never get repeats. When it's gone, it's gone!

But that's why it's so special.

You can't even get a discount if you buy a case of wine. It's just 12 times X!
