Cheap wine

[cjsmith]

Tonight I have learned why people will generally not buy a $3.50 bottle of wine.

I figured I'd go cheap. It was for cooking fondue; I'm not technically allowed to drink wine at all. I figured I'd take the last glass left in the bottle, after two cups of it went for cooking, and do the one-glass-of-wine experiment to see if white wine makes me feel like a truck ran over me.

Despite the fact I've been missing wine terribly, I may not finish this glass. I may, for possibly the first time in my life, throw away wine that hasn't -- by some definition, at least -- gone bad.

This stuff isn't even that good in fondue.

For the last number of years, I've tried to live by the rule that if I won't enjoy drinking it (which you didn't know at the time), it shouldn't be cooked with, either. I think that was Julia Childs' credo..

I think I'm a little looser about it than that, but I now know I have limits!

Alton Brown says that too!

Hmm. I better not tell you what goes into my brisket, then.
