sartre 0 #1 March 23, 2007 Whew. I am exhausted, and I'm just on day two of moving days. The big stuff doesn't get moved until Saturday. How did I collect so damn much stuff?!!! Does anyone have recommendations for a really good wine? I prefer red, but chardonnay is good too. I am not talking $75 wine--can't afford that and if I could, you know it would be spent on something skydiving related. But a decently priced, very good wine. I'm planning on sitting in my new place Saturday night, when the moving is done, with my feet up, candles burning, music playing....and enjoying a few glasses of wine. If I'm spending more than 10 bucks on a bottle, I want to know it's going to taste really good.
