But last night I went out for dinner and we took our own wine as it's a BYO restaurant. We didn't take anything massively expensive, it was a bottle of Emilio Moro from Ribera del Duero - a lovely rich tasting wine for a decent price (about £15). But I couldn't help but notice the other wines people had chosen to bring...a lot of Blossom Hill, Gallo and cheap Pinot Grigio...
The irritating thing being the fact that the average car price in the car park was around 25k...so the other customers clearly weren't hard up! Why subject yourself to such a punishment?
There is a co-op over the road from the restaurant which has a cracking wine selection considering its just a very small harbour town (village). So I really cannot abide that people walked in and picked up the cheapest bottle there...they sell things like Oyster Bay and Villa Maria Sauvignon which are crowd favourites and would have worked, they have St Hallet Shiraz and Yalumba Bush Vine Grenache that would have been great choices!
Think about your choices and spend your money wisely! You are worth more than a £2.99 bottle of Pinot Grigio!
