Okay, so I bite. I go to the site, I see that “1” for quantity is already selected and it already reads “me”for recipient.

I have to wonder here, do most people buy wine excursions for themselves and not as gifts? For shame! Or is Sara B. pulling my leg…I continue to the checkout…

And She-Bang! It comes up to a whopping $59 bucks! So what do I do as I don’t see Trade or Media options? I go back and play, err, shop some more!

Just searching under “wine” brings up no less than 90 pages of “Uncommon Goods”. From the norm (wine glasses) to recycled wine bottle jewelry. Then I switch my options to look at from high to low…and I found Steve Elzer’s cellar! Just kidding, wanted to make sure you were reading but you can get off the floor now.

But I did find “Locked and Loaded AMMUNITIONS CASE WINE BAR”. Now I have to stop fooling around here and see about getting a photo of this up here for you brazen shoppers to check out on your own.

And who didn’t think wine was an uncommon good for us all?
