wino.... er, wineaux

in other news, the east bay express has introduced a column on wine. they've tried to coin the term wineaux, to describe people who have decent taste don't want to spend a lot of money. i guess we'll see if it sticks. being a spendthrift myself, i hem and haw over any bottle more than $10. yes, some more expensive bottles are better, but frankly, i don't want to spend that much on wine.

the column also seeks wines that are readily available (did you know costco is now the #1 wine cellar?) including at albertson's, safeway, and bev mo. i'm dissappointed they didn't at least mention oddlots - after all, it's a local paper, and at oddlots, virtually every bottle is around $10 or less. that, and the fact that they called 2-$ chuck drinkable brings a little suspicion to my mind. cheap as it is, i do not really consider that wine worth the $2!
