WAL-MART NEWSFLASH



First off, I have an unconfirmed report that Wal-Mart may have upped the price of Oak Leaf wine to $2.97. This is a stunning blow to those of us who have been drinking it after your 4yr old throws her 78th fit of the day and you finally get her to bed, and reach for a bottle.

I will be pushing past my liver pain and trekking to the local Wal-Mart with Wal-Mart Bingo Card in hand today (Thanks, Candice, you smelly pirate hooker) to verify this tragic development, and will report back.

And to those of you who tried this wine and threw it back in my face for it not being the second coming, I think you may have missed the frickin' point...

It's not a great wine. It's an average wine.

It's a GREAT wine...................for $2.88.

It's a MIRACULOUS wine..............for $2.88.

Now, for $2.97......................we'll see.

Sadly, I live in Pennsylvania, and only the state ownded liquor stores are allowed to sell wine and liquor ... and of course, they overcharge for all their wine, forcing us to go to Delaware for tax free shopping.

Why don't you just get a bottle of Boones Farm already. I'll pay the extra $5 myself.

You slay me. Wal Mart? Really? The 9 cent increase is due to the falling fuel prices of course. LOL

Oh, and I've been curious to get your take on my male coworker's serious mancrush on Christian Bale. Weird? Normal?

Hey, I may be a pirate hooker but I do not smell. Just ask One Eyed Willy!!

$2.97 per bottle... that sounds like a good baby shower gift. maybe a case of it, because those first time mothers do not know what is coming their way...

At least you can buy wine at your Walmart. I live here in Utah where you can only buy wine at the liquor store!

Wine? You have to try our Australian wines.

Or better still, try 'em in the Barossa Valley.....
