The pinot noir that Hob Nob makes is Dangerously Drinkable. Here's why:
The liquor store that sells it is in a most convenient location on my way home from work, right off the main drag. Easy in, easy out, no stoplights, no interruptions or delays.
It costs $9.00. A wine under $10 feels practically free, so I experience zero financial guilt. You can't even buy a decent-sized pizza for $9.00.
It's very, very smooth with no alarming after-tastes or weird stinging on the tongue. It's literally one of those goes-with-everything wines. I also deem it a good party wine, as it seems likely to offend very few.
So far (and luck be with me!) I have experienced not a single negative physical side-effect from this wine. My wine punishments always occur the following day, but with this one I haven't been stumbled by a headache, or experienced that awful lingering nausea. Nothing at all! So, it's lovely drinking it, and there's a happy satisfaction the next day rather than regret. (Granted, this is with stopping at two glasses. If I drink a whole bottle of pretty much anything, there is projectile vomiting involved. Always.)
All of these beneficial factors make this a Dangerously Drinkable wine in my book because I can't think of a single reason NOT to drink it. Therefore, I'll keep drinking it a lot.

I do love when I can find a good, drinkable wine for under ten bucks.
