anyone know if this stuff is any good? i've had the two buck chuck, and it's really alright for an everyday dinner wine.

I believe they make this by fermenting wallpaper paste and adding Koolaid. Deeeeelicious! :wine:

 

[ttown]

is the price now till the 4th?
july 4th only?

please clarify

edit: and also, is this a "normal" size bottle? or one of the dinky 2-glass bottles?

(I've had some of their other cheap wines, and for the most part they're fine... not a favorite, but drinkable)

Pepperwood is typically priced in the $6 to $8 range.

If true, that's fantastic. They are pretty good wines, especially the zinfandel (not white zin). The lowest I've seen them sell is $6.99, usually they are $7.99 or more. There is also a "around the neck" coupon on some bottles, in some stores, if you can find them, good until Jan 31, 2005 that gives a rebate of $30/12bottles (two cases per family max, that would make them FAR. I'll have to check that out...thanks!

Edited: Awwwww.....only in CA, they tell me.....none in NH or MA

I picked up six cases of zinfandel. I probably won't ever drink that much but at fifteen bucks a case I can afford to decide later.

You're not dead til you're warm and dead.

Edit: didn't see any Pepperwood stuff in the TJ's near me in Alexandria. They have the import wines arranged by country, and I guess the domestics by variety, didn't see any Pepperwood. Can anyone other than iwearnosox confirm this anywhere else?

Does that mean only on sale in CA, or only stocked in CA? I just went to a local store in OR, and it's in stock, but at $6.99.

I checked in Redondo Beach and couldn't find anything. I asked an employee and he hadn't heard of it either. I settled on some two buck chuck.
