Figuring that I'd need some wine after trucking back and forth to the storage unit all day, I bought a couple--thanks to the marketing wizards, mainly because I thought the labels were nifty (and hey, the price wasn't bad). I haven't cracked the white yet, but I've enjoyed a Chilean Cabernet Franc/Carmenère blend (84/16) called "(oops)", apparently after the fact that Chilean Carmenère plantings were long assumed to be Merlot until the 1990s. I figure if it's at Target in the $12 bin, it should be easy enough for all your readership to find! ;)
