¡Batttle of the gas station wines! Parte Tres:

 
Wow, this computer is being WAY more cooperative today...guess the North Koreans are done messing with me LOL...I didn't know there WAS a North Korean wine.  Would have to be a Riesling...anyway...gets cold there, Colonel Hackworth told me...
 
Maurice Couturier from Boca Raton, Florida wrote me and said, :Why don't you review a wine from Wal-Mart?  They have gas stations attached to some of them...
 
I hate to agree with a French dude.  But he is correct on several levels:
 
1) I drive past a Wal-Mart everyday, and there is a Sam's gas station right in front of it.  You need a credit card issued by the New York Zionist banking conspiracy (LOL), but if you ran out of gas, you would buy a debit card from inside and get it SOME WAY.  So it is technically a GAS STATION.   The way that Comrade Fidel was TECHNICALLY  a socialist reformer;
 
2) it has radically cheap prices;
 
3) It is open 24-hours;
 
4) A large portion of the proceeds go to the People's Republic of China;
 
5) It appears you can park a diesel tractor in the lot and not get towed.  At least at this one.  Please check inside and mention that I sent you...
