Meatball Sauce

I caved. I grabbed my flipflops, ran out to Safeway and snatched up two bottles of the Robert Mondavi Pinot Noir, for 3-bucks-off each bottle! My earlier blog post just induced such visceral memories of its splendour. Turns out the whole wine section was littered with sale tags of all different deals, including several wines that were still on that Buy One Get One for 10-cents special. I contemplated these two listed below, but didn't buy either. (The sale runs through August 20th, so I figured I'd do some Googling when I got home to aid in my discount selection.)

Cupcake Vineyards Malbec (I have no idea what a Malbec is.)
Barefoot Wines Pinot Noir

I looked up the Barefoot first. I have never tried their wines, but they seem to show up at parties often. The cheap price and cheesy label keep me from ever trying them. If I had any doubt, though, this page settled it. If the wine can be used to make a Meatball Sauce, it's probably not the wine I'm looking for.

Off to read up about the Malbec. I'm not throwing away my ten cents on just anything.
