Oh, Thank Heaven!

I have been noticing a trend in my neighborhood. My local corner store has started selling wine. Beer, they always had…. and a fine selection of liquor in pints were available behind the counter. But the wine, is relatively new.

So I guess it comes as no surprise that 7-11 wants a piece of the action… It was announced yesterday that the Southland Corporation will start selling wine along with the beer at their stores. And not to be out done, they will sell their own brand of wine to boot! Yosemite Road will be a limited edition wine available in either Chardonnay (described as “fresh and zesty with notes of apricot, peach and honey”) and a “plummy” Cabernet Sauvignon.

It will retail for about $4.00 and is poised to compete against Two Buck Chuck.

It just goes to show that you ALWAYS pay through the nose for convenience!

Now if we could just get them to dispense it into Big Gulp cup….
