The $100 Case - June 2016

The basic parameters - twelve different bottles; more reds than whites; at least twelve different grape varieties; and of course, great quality and value, because that is a house rule for every selection in the store. In other words, I taste every wine - these inexpensive bottles included - before it has a chance of getting in this place.
