by survival guide to wine in Cheap and Cheerful

Possible the question I get asked the most in the store is, “Do you have a nice red that isn’t expensive and tastes good?”
Let’s break down this question;
Nice- Do they mean courteous?
Isn’t expensive- $10 to $50, it is a sliding scale.
Good- We don’t sell bad wine…. intentionally. Wine can be corked, not our fault. Good is subjective too.
Anyways here is a nice, inexpensive red that I think is good.
Le Paradou from the south of France. ($11.95) Fruit-forward, spicy with soft tannins. 100% Grenache, the sexy grape as it is known in the wine world. Enjoy!
