Usually when I go to Bristol Farms and peruse the wine section I experience sticker shock, since the prices there are anywhere from 10% to 30% above typical retail mark-up. Today, I experienced shock for the opposite reason. Some of my favorite wines of late are on sale there at ...

I’ve had a lousy day. Between my car being towed from the Jack In the Box lot next to my office building (I know, I shouldn’t have parked there!) and site traffic dropping back to normal pre-InStyle-blurb levels, it’s been reality-check-filled.

The 2006 Pomelo Sauvignon Blanc wine is a really nice quaffer for its price. As the name would imply, the wine has a nose and even a palate that brings grapefruit to mind.

I’d been planning to price check a couple of Chateauneuf-du-Papes I saw the other day at Bristol Farms. But those can wait, since I happened upon the bargain of the week today and thought you should know about it. On close-out at The Wine Hotel on West 3rd Street in LA you’ll find a scant three...

We carry this wine, a 100% Tempranillo from Telmo Rodriguez, a hot winemaker from Spain (hot in both his looks and mad skills with the vino). We used to sell the Dehesa Gago for $13.99, but were lucky enough to get some on close-out from the old distributor who lost the wine to a competitor. We lowered our price accordingly, to $12.99 a bottle, since we had some for the old price and some...
