I like to consider myself the Carrie Bradshaw of the wine world. Not because I am a particularly talented writer, but because I love LA as much as she loves NY AND my expenditures on wine equal hers on Manolo Blahniks. In the 2006 calendar year I spent $13,846.37 on wine. Retail. For some big collectors that’s nothing, I know. But for me, with my modest income, that’s more than I pay annually in rent. And that’s why I’m like Carrie Bradshaw, she couldn’t afford her apartment either.

Not quite Chef-boy-r-de, but...
When I first started working at aoc we had Borie la Vitarele, Les Terres Blanches by the glass, one of my favorite wines to recommend to customers and one of the cheapest! It was delicious, but I haven't seen it around in awhile. It's from Saint Chinian in the Languedoc in Southern France, a blend of syrah, grenache and mourvedre.
I was at Silverlake Wine last week and saw it on the under twenty table. This wine is perfect for a stay at home spaghetti night because it is loaded with spicy oregano, earthy tomato and meaty flavors - which sounds weird - but is actually really good and savory and grounding. Om.
And you can see the price point. $15. Yum!
