Jay's Wine Notes Blog

Where I can spew forth phrases like "hints of tar" and try to convince you/me that I enjoyed that.

My first mixed case

Yep, as I stated in my very first blog post, I bought a mixed case. Why? Two reasons.

1. I drink a decent amount of wine (bottle or two a week)
2. 15% discount!!! That's the important part. $208 became $177.
3. It was a good excuse to go and buy a buttload of all kinds of different wines I wouldn't just walk in and buy for kicks.

Ok, so it was 3 reasons. Sue me.

Once I get home I'm going to post the details of each bottle I bought.

What I remember:
3 French
3 Italian
2 Whites (not a big white fan)
1 Zin
1 Australian Shiraz (had last night... not too impressed)

Uh... yeah.

So a write up on the Shiraz (Nine Stones 2003 Shiraz I do believe) will be coming shortly.

Jay,

Congratulations on your wine purchases. I've just started a River City Food and Wine blog.

Where the heck do you find mixed cases for 15% off?

My local wine store here in Ann Arbor, MI.

If you have one nearby, Whole Foods offers 15% on a mixed case, I do believe. Not as good of a selection as my local joint, but they offer the discount.
