Comments on: Defending Merlot http://belowthebeltway.com/2006/12/14/defending-merlot/ I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Although I can't justify spending that much for a bottle of wine except maybe on special occasions. Sometimes, though, cost doesn't indicate anything at all. That Red Diamond I mentioned in the Post sells for $ 9.99 a bottle at the supermarket. Brad,

Don’t knock that $ 100 Cab too hard, some of it is really, really good. Although I can’t justify spending that much for a bottle of wine except maybe on special occasions.

Particularly from Sonoma (Russian River Valley, Dry Creek Valley). I'll take one of those over the $100+ hyped Napa Cab any day. I'm not sure if you can get it in Virginia, but if you see Belvedere's Zin, pick some up. I’m a fan of Zinfandel… Particularly from Sonoma (Russian River Valley, Dry Creek Valley).
