" This wine had two defects , it's price - $1.99 and it's name - " le Black Wines ". The people who should taste it think it couldn't possibly be good. It took Tony weeks to get me to even try ' le Black Wine ". But what a pleasant surprise1 From Cahors, in the southwest of France, an area well known for robust reds, this little gem will be a pleasant surprise. I won't go on and on about the region or the grapes - just say that it would have a good taste for money ratio at $2.99. Well worth a try. "

Just thought you might all like to read this as it's a great story and the wine was, in fact very good and a great deal. Please add any comments that you might have. Cheers, Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn
Yes, I was the Tony she was speaking of above. We worked well together for many years at the Mayflower Wines & Spirits. Back then I was responsible for buying the domestic wines for the store. Cheers on this very nice Monday, February 18th, 2013 at 11:55PM on Presidents' Day. Just got to squeak that in. Take care, happy Tuesday ... TONY
