Well somehow we screwed up, forgot to pay the homeowners insurance and had to run down to my insurance agent to pay up. My agent is in Concord and since I was there ... well I decided to drop into the Concord Cheese Shop. They really do have a small, but select offering of wines. I just wanted a hunk of cheese to carry me through the day, but this box of Terra Unica's were just behind me. It said something like, 1000 bottles sold since ... some date. $7.99 ... $7 if you buy a case ... almost gone. Well if I was served a little quicker, I'd have had my hunk of Gouda and been gone. But, no, I had enough time for the "almost gone" sign to call me closer. Bought a bottle and and had it with grilled salmon, asparagus, and corn. Medium red, slightly spicy with a touch of clove. I will be back to buy more. Anyone had this? Thoughts?

Sounds like a good one. Your experience reminds me of the last time we were in Micucci's in Portland, ME. When they put those boxes at your feet, it's amazing how quickly things speed up once you pick up a bottle or two!
