Wine, what are saving it for?

[Randy Caparoso]

It's called Best Cellars, Jason -- in the middle of Manhattan, Boston, and soon in Seattle and elsewhere. But guess what -- it's not an enlightened Xer who's doing it, it's a 40-something named Joshua Wesson, who was once named "Best Sommelier in the World" or some ridiculous thing ten years ago. All of his stores feature exactly 100 selections of exactly one kind of wine only $10 and under. The shocker is not so much that he can find them and stock his shelves to the max, but he finds some real gems -- lots and lots of them! If you don't believe me, just walk into one of his stores during his free afternoon tastings, which he does everyday! It just goes to show that it can be done by anyone who puts their mind to it. Problem with many of us, we stop looking pretty quickly after we get the "wine bug." So we have only but ourselves to kick if we complain "Ya can't find a decent, cheap bottle of wine." Or is it "whine?" (No offense -- just that this is as clever as I get).
