  Don't be shy now... I don't always drink classified growths, the best boutique wines of California, Washington or Oregon or even fine Champagne every night.  Price is part of the equation, I suppose, but "rightness" or "fit" seems more apropos.  A modest Riesling, a Viognier from Provence, or a good quality (but modestly priced) A.

  We attended a cookie party last night - good excuse for bringing wine as well as cookies of course.  Had lots of fun talking with friends, many of whom attend the blind wine tasting parties.  Good times.There were plenty of cookies and lots of cheap or somewhat decent wine; our bottles that we brought over were quickly whisked away!  I remember ...
