GREAT che-e-e-p wine

[captainvino]

Last year in France, we purchased a plastic bottle of 97 Margaux, poured from a huge barrel in the back of a local wine store about 500 yds from Ch. Margaux. Cost about $7 US for 1 1/2 liter. Was as good as anything we get here .... and therein lies the problem. The "ch-e-e-p wines they drink in Europe, we cannot get here, so we have to make good with what we can find.
