As the economy slowly recovers, there’s one thing we all need to carefully ask ourselves: Can we afford to buy our wine at full price yet? The answer, whether you’re doing well or not, should be a resounding “No!” Especially if you live near one of the Bay Area’s many Grocery Outlets (www.groceryoutlet.com). This discount grocery store is an adventure every trip. Sure, some of the food here has been discontinued or damaged by forklift shenanigans, but the real draw is the massive selection of discount wines liquidated from wineries both near and far. While the selection changes weekly, the prices remain between $2 and $10 for a bottle, and those prices only bear a passing correlation to the actual quality of the wine for sale. You’re just as likely to discover a cheeky Côtes du Rhône for $3 as you are to find a terrible Merlot for $10, so this is not the place to get attached to a single brand, but rather, a place to play the lottery and take some exciting chances. For added fun, buy a whole case of different types, taste them all and then go back and buy up whatever’s left of your favorites before they’re gone forever. It’s like a wine garage sale: You never know what you’ll find, but you can be sure it’ll be interesting and cheap.
