Wine on NO Budget

One of the focuses of our Blog is to try and keep the realm of wine to the practical and reasonable.  Obviously, most people have a budget in mind when they go shopping for wine.  That budget could be $10 or $100 depending on the person and their means.  Today we are talking about wine on NO budget (that could even be wine on someone else's budget).  There was a quote online today, when a wine expert was asked what is your favorite wine, the expert responded, "My favorite wine is the one that someone else pays for.", to which we say quite right.

One of our best wine experiences was when a good friend and co-worker of Shannon's gave us the privilege of enjoying a 1995 Les Forts De Latour from the prestigious Chateau Latour family.  The wine was excellent but made even more spectacular with the fact that the wine had a price tag of around $400 USD.  That is a truly memorable experience. 

So our question of the day, what is your wine on NO Budget moment?  Was it at a Christmas party where the Boss picked up the tab on a pricey bottle, or was there a splurge moment where you just went for it on the bottle that cost the price of a week's groceries? 

Whatever the occasion or reason, they usually are memorable.  You may not even remember what the wine was like, but you sure remember the circumstances that preceded the drinking of it.

Let us know!

Keep on drinking!
