I'd agree, also with Tablas for more affordable and more selection. It's usually bday, xmas etc wine but I had it in the fridge so lucky me tonight and tomorrow
I have a stash of Reva, Viognier & a little Pandora, some niece/nephew birth year gifts. If they don't like wine, more lucky me

What appellation? Looks like southern France. Rhone? Languedoc? Rousillon? Southwest?
After not drinking all week I drank an entire bottle of cheap wine last night. I fear the I was a little more obnoxious than I would have liked.
Cheap wine doesn't get you as buzzed.

Nah, it's the alcohol that gets you buzzed, it's all the other compounds in the wine and any added sugar, color, acid, &c, that effects the kind of buzz you get.
Cheap wine gives you a shitty buzz.
Years ago, I tried this cheap win from fresh and easy. It was 3 dollars.
I drank the whole bottle and didn't get buzzed.
I think I got buzzed from last night but it wasn't a good buzz.
I was an obnoxious drunk.
I was trying to save on my wine bill.
Not drinking really cuts the cost.
Same this with not eating.
Your food bill really goes down./
I'm not the most well versed when it comes to French wines. But I believe it's Rousillon.

We stumbled upon Marc Barriot's wines one night in a funny bit of serendipity. One of my kiwi friends Marc who now lives in Toronto was in town with his wife Caroline to return to Joshua Tree with her friend that nearly died after breaking her pelvis while hiking alone surviving 96 hours in the desert drinking her own pee.
My name is also Marc and my girlfriends name also happens to be Caroline as well. So we took them to dinner at Night Market and my Caroline ordered a French orange wine off the menu called "Le Trouble Fait". When it showed up at the table we read the label and realized it was made by Marc & Caroline Barriot. So there we were Marc & Caroline having dinner with Marc & Caroline and sharing a bottle of Marc & Caroline. The best part is the wine was really fvcking good!
So after that meal I ordered a case of Le Trouble Fait which we enjoyed immensely and a few weeks ago we finished the last bottle. I tried ordering more but couldn't track down that bottle. But I found an importer out of San Jose that carried the full range of Marc Barriot's other offerings and decided to give it a go. So far they've all been winners and they're not terribly expensive. One day we hope to visit his cellars.
