An American friend recently introduced us to a nice Pinot Grigio, and we thought we'd pick it up cheap in the US in between sheepdog trials. Usually the wines we buy in Canada range from $11-$15, so we are on the cheap end of things. We expected this particular wine to be $8-$10 in the US, assuming it was a similar class of wine to our usual brands and would reflect the cheaper US prices. Mary Lou almost fell over when she found the wine on sale at Walmart for $22.97! Even the Walmart cashier asked if it was a mistake, as wine over $15 at Walmart is usually a pricing error. Fortunately, Mary Lou had wisely balanced out the purchase with several single serving bottles of another Pinot Grigio for $1.00 a piece! ;)
Linda's old dog Nell started to do a taste test by trying the wine in an unsupervised glass but fortunately it had been the cheaper wine!
We are now enroute to the C54 sheepdog trial, an extremely flat 600+ yard outrun, where the dogs can mistake seabirds landing on the field for sheep, and the sheep shimmer in the heat waves, making you wonder if your straight fetch is really a mirage!

Is the single serve a 750ml? Big glasses!
