It is one of my goals in life to taste as many wines as possible. I love the experience of corking and sipping a new bottle from a brand that I have never tried before. Of course, the experience is not always a pleasant one, especially since the wines I try tend to be on the cheap end of the aisle. But hidden amongst the bargain bottles are some gems. In this series of reviews, I will share my experiences with wine, all coming from bottles that will never cost more than fifteen smackers.
I’m not a professional wine taster so I’ll do my best to avoid as much as the jargon as possible. The rating is not intended to reference to a standard wine scale, but rather my perception of the value offered by the taste in relation to its cost.

But this delay has also caused an existential situation worthy of some of the better episodes of Start Trek. Thanks to the wonders of technology and moderately helpful travel agents, we are now booked on two different flights at roughly the same time. Have we inadvertently just caused a rift in the temporal flow of space-time?

While those apprehensive and anticipative jitters are there, there is also something different about this trip that neither of us can do anything to prepare for.
