I went to CostPlus World Market and browsed for a good long while. I read the descriptions, and bought things that looked good (knowing a little bit about my own taste) and had good reviews. I spent $15/bottle max, as that store is a good resource for inexpensive wine. I’m glad to have wine in the house whenever I might want it, and am drinking wine (and therefore learning about it and about my own tastes) more often. Plus, it was enjoyable to give myself a big block of time to just browse the store and learn from reading wine descriptions!
