I need a VERY dry, medium-priced red for a friend who likes it almost puckerable. I need it for tomorrow. HELP! Thanks, Jaimz

See if you can find him a 1998 Crozes Hermitage from Les Nobles Rives. That's a puckerer.

Thanks for the title, any idea where I can find it and what price?
- barnesy - 12-14-2000
It is around 15 dollars. As far as finding it, you live in a very large city. Get out your phonebook and look in the yellow pages under wine retail. Call around and see if anyone has it. Also, you could go to one of those shops and tell them your price range and the style you are looking for and get suggestions. Other than that, good luck and have fun.

Funny, someone thinks of Orlando as a large city. Anyhoo, thanks for the info. I feel like I'm looking for my own Frasier Crane. I hope this goes over well. It's for a guy. How stupid is that? Well, what we'll do for the holidays...Jaimz

Hi there Diva and welcome to the board. Lots of stuff out there to fit your pisto; but one every store should have is the 1996 Gallo Cabernet Either " Frei " or " Barilli Creek " vineyard. These are in the 20 plus range and have lots of it all. Good hunting. winoweenie

Hey, if you look at where I'm from...Caldwell has like 25,000 people. I have to drive 30 miles to get to my wine shop in boise. In comparison, Orlando is certainly bigger. Happy hunting,
