ESF, do you have recommendations for good yet affordable champagne (or "champagne")? I only drink the cheap stuff although I have at least moved on from Korbel to Jaume Cristalino cava.
I like Cristalino cava. We had it at our wedding. cava in general is a good bet. I default to that.
Also this sparkling torrontes is quite good. should be widely available - its the same people that make Crios torrontes (best budget wine evah).
Oh good, I feel validated. (And I already liked the Crios Torrontes although for budget wine, I'm really loving my Black Box cabernet from Costco - $15 for 3 liters!)
The cava is $1 more expensive in D.C. than it was in WI. WOMP WOMP. I do really like it here, but damn do I miss the land of cheap booze.
