Wine in Wally-world may be around for a while. Sam's Clubs have a pretty
fair selection at decent prices - from all over the world. At my local
Sam's it's two aisles upstream from the quart bottles of hot sauce.
(Trappey's, Tapatio, Tabasco (bleurgggh) and the Srirachas). Califunky
has some top notch wines, as does Oregon, Washington and strangely
enough Missouri. My hottest pick right now is a Baobab 98 Merlot that
goes very well with hot/spicy foods. Oh, my. Yeeessssss....
ENJOY!!!
