A Chipotle Halloween
Chipotle has a great Halloween promotion each year: dress like something on their menu and get a free burrito. Since the only thing I like better than free food is free wine, I ended up spending part of Halloween at Chipotle with a piece of aluminum foil wrapped around my head.
Afterward, I stopped by Cost Plus World Market. For years this has been just a tremendous place to buy wine. Along with Trader Joe's, it's the first retail chain I think of for finding good, inexpensive wines. If only they'd start shipping wine as well.
I bought a few reds as part of their "biggest red wine sale ever," but what was really exciting was finding a few whites in a special half-off section.
I just tried the Vegas 3, which is not named after Las Vegas but is instead the name of the wine maker. It's 40% Verdejo, 40% Sauvignon blanc and 20% Chardonnay and comes from Spain.
For the price of $5 (half of it's normal $9.99 price tag), I thought it was great. Not everyone seems to agree with me though.
Once I open them I'll let you know how the other wines I bought turn out.

Cost Plus is great. I only wish that you could order wine from them online. The closest Cost Plus to me is about 100 miles away.
