    Since they already sell crappy 1$ sandwiches is the key word, in your statement, "and" (in connection with offering Juggs magazine)?
    (when i was in high school and college i worked at a newstand/tobacco shop that sold "men's" magazines so that's why i know the proper spelling of Juggs =)

    7-Eleven: Home of Crappy $1 Sandwiches, and Juggs of Fine Wine
    (They ought to patch together an ad featuring Orson Welles as a spokesperson!)

    If you wish, in order to remember it, you can think of it as a type of "G-string" . . .

    Thinking back about that job, and the magazines on the rack at the store, is like taking a walk down mammary lane . . .

    Yeah, the Republicans at the State Capitol have to stand up for the profit interests of the liquor store owners. Who knows how many millions of their profits would be wiped out of convenience stores could start selling wine. It would already be bad enough for them, if it was just limited to grocery stores.

    Hopefully, we can bypass the legislators, provided some organization can get its act together and launch an adequately financed petition process next year, so we can vote yes on enabling grocery stores to sell wine in grocery stores in Nov. of 2014. I can NOT get http://ww.okmodernlaws.com to come up, so at this point, I tend to have doubts.

    Okie Dokie Smokie! Go into any liquor store and there are plenty of bottles of wine under $25 that are highly rated with 97+ ratings. If you know anything about wine then you'll know what that means.

    They call it "Sucker Juice" in the trade . . .
    (just keepin' the "theme du jour" going . . . =)

    Oh! If you really want to learn something about The Wine Industry all you have to do is watch the film, "Corked".
    It's, like, The Spinal Tap of wine movies.

    I do and I am still not impressed. I have tasted many wines rated that high that tasted like vinegar. Drink what you like not what some rating dolt says.

    Damn straight, which is why I don't need to buy $25+ bottles of wine to enjoy the sip, lol. Have fun wasting your money though ;-)

    I absolutely agree with you. It might be fun to splurge occasionally on a very expensive bottle of wine. But there are many very good options for much more reasonable prices.

    "Neither the "Rating System" nor "The Price" is the True Measure of 'Fine Wine'
    The True Measure is how fast it runs through a sieve, as timed with a stopwatch.
    The Faster, the Finer. And rest assured that 7-Eleven will sell only The Fastest."



    "I will drink no wine before it's timed."
