Will you be suggesting some white wines. Also, some champagnes that don't cost a fortune.
I sure will. You must have read my mind. I am planning on writing about affordable white wines next Wednesday. In fact, I will go through a number of different kinds and brands of not only wine - but other liqueurs and spirits!
Come back daily!
