Summer wines

Although I’m suffering from withdrawal symptoms over Eric Felten throwing over his drinks column in the Wall Street Journal, that publication’s wine writers are taking up some of the slack.

This week they give recommendations on jug wines (not jugs, really, but 1.5 litre bottles), just in time for the holiday weekend.

I have to say that I’ve not got much hope of finding the selection here in Washington state; & certainly not at the prices quoted, since the state government jacks up prices for some unknown reason. (Unless it’s just the old revenue wheeze.)

But you may be able to find some. If so—salud!
