Selecting Wines when the Assistants are Away
by Ed Young
Frugal MacDoogal's Monthly Guest Wine Letter July, 2004
Month after month, we tell you to consult Jeff, or Jack when you’re in the store. But, as happened to me recently, what if they aren’t there or are occupied with other customers? The Frugal guys are always off to California or somewhere looking for great wines. Everyone gets one day off per week, and if you drop by the store at a busy time, you could have difficulty getting personal attention. So this month we feature a “do-it-yourself” checklist in which our wine experts give you the recommendations on paper that they would give you in person. Print this out and bring it in next time-just in case. We hope to greet you personally, but if not, happy shopping!
