I love this store. There's one within walking distance of my home and, whenever I'm nearby, I stop in - even just to browse the wines. Usually, there's a great deal on something going on and I unexpectedly surprise myself with a buy on something unanticipated.
For instance, two days ago, I stopped in and found the 2007 R Wines Luchador Shiraz. I love this wine - being a fan of big bold Australian reds... darn thing only cost $15. I like that.
Next to the Luchador was the 2006 3 Rings Shiraz for $18. If I didn't already have 2 bottles at home, I'd have bought a couple of these as well.
Then, I found a Santa Ema Cabernet - WS 90 - for only $11. Yup. Bought it.
What I like most about Cost Plus World Market is that their wine selection contains many that cannot be found in the local supermarkets - all of which seem to have the same wine buyer... Yes, I like BV, Sterling, Kendall Jackson, Mondavi, and Yellow Tail... but COME ON! It's nice to find wines from Waterbrook, Heitz, Yalumba, Four Vines, and Marquis Philips in my neighborhood.
Cheers!

I don't care about the Lakers
What does this have to do with wine, you might ask? Everything, of course!
Today, a good friend who happens to be trucking across the country will be rolling into town today. Omar also happens to be a drummer in my band, The Barnburners of Los Angeles (look us up on iTUNES and myspace). When he arrives, we're going to visit for a bit then head out to the garage-studio to jam - me on guitar and vocals, Omar on drums, and maybe my daughter Jamie on vocals as well. It's really a great way to spend the afternoon....
As you can guess, the Laker game will be happening at the same time... a game 7... whoopee do! I don't care. It's irrelevant.
Instead, we're going to make really loud rock'n roll. When we're done, we're going to fire up the barbecue and grill some burgers with sea salt and cheddar... maybe some bacon... and open up a bottle of Four Vines Zinfandel. When that is done, we'll open another bottle yet to be determined.
And we will not care what the Lakers did.
