They did have Dr. Loosen there but it was $17 and I wanted to try a cheaper one since I've never tried this varietal before. Also the Dr. Loosen was screwcap. I thought screwcap was for cheap bad wines....like BoonesFarm or something. But then when looking for two other Merlots that scored high on winespectator.com I found that they were screwtop as well. I went ahead and bought them. They were by Houge and Dog House. They were inexpensive but scored decently.

Actually, I'm not sure if I should've done this but I ended up buying 9 bottles of wine for around $100. All cheap but most scored high so I figured I'd try them. A couple were impluse purchases that looked interesting like a Zinfandal/Cab/Merlot blend (all of which I like) and an Argentine Table wine and a 2001 Argentine Melbec. I also picked up a bottle of Viognier, just to try it. Two of them were half bottles. One was a 2001 White Rhone from France for $7 and another was a 2001 Pinot Noir by Au Bon Climat. It was $17 for a half bottle but I figured I'd get since I want to try a good PN and see if I like it better than others I've tried. I came home and found that it scored an 88 so that's good. I also bought a wine rack and a decanter. So I am on my way to my own little wine collection. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
