He says it's still about 6$ or 7$ because that's the price per bottle if you buy six bottles. If you buy a single one, it's likely to be between 11$ or $12. <br /><br />That may not work for everyone but I only drink a few glasses of Merlot with supper and an hour or two afterwards, and so buying it by the half dozen at the lower price makes sense.

To me, it means an extra CW answer that is not part of the official theme (ie. marked with an *, long answer) but can be tied into the theme if you happen to notice it and considered a treat (just like a child searching out an Easter Egg). <br />Melissa saw them today too (62a REDS Bonus! and 26D ASTI More wine!); she just didn’t call them Easter Eggs.<br />I’m not sure if the constructors are even aware of them, but they bring me a smile when I find them😁CanadianEh!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05688358229402732332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-46869954008711104712021-06-16T21:06:55.270-05:002021-06-16T21:06:55.270-05:00Mellissa thanx too fort the Beck picture.

And your write-ups are always a pleasure, Melissa.<br /><br />What fun to see all those WINES in this puzzle, including my favorite: MERLOT. <br />When I saw that the answer to the clue CABS on the bottom was REDS, I thought wait a minute, I've never seen a RED TAXICAB. Oh, wines, CABERNET. Are they RED? Looked it up and CABERNET SAUVIGNON is "more rich and robust" than my nightly MERLOT. I guess that's why my Merlots only cost $6 a bottle. <br /><br />Thank you for your kind Bloomsday greetings, Irish Miss and Yellowrocks.<br /><br />Have a great day, everybody.
