Great value for the money... CdR & White Cali blend

And isn't that what my blog is all about?.. Well, in saying that I backed myself into a corner because sometimes I have trouble finding those wines and fear becoming predictable in my tastes, but however you slice it, these two wines are very appealing and fit the QPR description perfectly...
