Wine in Hell

I have never liked going to Wal-mart. In fact, I think that is too mild of a description. I loathe going to Wal-mart.

Why? Well besides the crowded disorganized store, packed with hordes of the unwashed masses, I have always found that the place just gives me the creeps.

Unfortunately, when one is on a quest to find certain odd items, for instance, disposable stylo plumes (fountain pens) for your young girls.. you often find yourself entering stores that you would normally avoid like the plague.

That being said, I now find a way to soothe my soul on those shopping trips where you have been forsaken by all that is good and holy. There is cheap wine at Wal-mart.

Probably not my Wal-Mart, mind you, but at least one of them… and the wine, produced by Oak Leaf Vineyards is described as being pretty good. The chardonnay won gold medals at the 2008 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and Florida State International Wine Competition. They are produced by Oak Leaf Vineyards in Ripon, California which is part of the Wine Group family of wines. And at $2.97 a bottle? Well, hopefully I can forget the whole shopping trip!

Wines produced by the vineyard include:

• Pinot Grigio-Chardonnay blend
• Chardonnay (winner of the Florida International Wine Competition Gold Medal)
• Merlot
• Cabernet Sauvignon

Will these wines make me go to Wal-Mart if I am not desperate? Probably not… but it will make the necessity of having to go there more palatable.
