Happy Valentine’s Day

What to drink?

Happy Valentine’s Day to all who celebrate. 

As far as drinks, these days I’ve switched from my usual filtered milk to my favorite mineral water to shed a few pounds of fat.  Milk is great for bulking and water for cutting.  But whether you and your valentine are trying to add muscle or cut fat at the moment, neither may be optimal for romantic evenings.  My concern is always with getting the best ROI, so I try to get something that looks nice enough to get maximally appreciated without wasting any money.  Here is the best bargain in the entire wine world to age and enjoy on subsequent Valentine’s Days. Get some action for under $10 per bottle.

2021 Embroidery Pinot Noir Monterey County is a terrific pinot with a beautiful label. Thirteen bottles retail for a total of $325. It is completely worth every penny. But you can get it for less than a third of that price. You get $50 back using this link on a first time Wine Access purchase. Then they are offering 52% off for 12 bottles (but get 13 in order to qualify for free shipping). That case plus one comes to $156 and $106 after the sign up bonus or $8.15 per bottle.

From the retailer,

Crafted from sustainably farmed Dijon clones grown in sandy Monterey County soils, this sensational Pinot Noir bargain is extremely limited in production. It comes from vintner Trevor Sheehan of Technique and GAIT fame, and we managed to swing a massive deal on the price. It’ll go down as one of our best Pinot bargains of the year.

Wine Enthusiast gave it 90 points saying,

Lush black raspberry, hibiscus and rose-oil aromas are made complex with a hint of game on the nose of this bottling. Ample tension on the sip frames the dark purple flower, plum and mace flavors.

Whatever, dude. My standard has always been to seek one point for <$0.10; it is almost impossible but this $0.09/point is as good as it gets in terms of underpaying for wine. Get some.
