The Chef does not get out to Monrovia often, except when bloggers call. On a pleasant California afternoon, from Baldwin Hills, it's an easy 25 minute drive northeast against minimal freeway traffic.What to bring to this bloggers picnic get together? A 99.99 Cent White Wine Tasting, of course. The Chef struck white liquid gold at his local 99.99c only Store yesterday; an abundance of wine "Deals of the Day". There are 5 different white wines to choose from right now -- from "Yelcho" Chilean Sauvignon Blanc to "Lindon Estates" North Coast (California) Chardonnay. For the wine winning results you have to watch the Chef's wine tasting video. Special 99 thanks to hosts Arron "The Proc" Proctor and Frazgo, the brave blogging 99.99 cent wine tasters and Monrovia's Aztec Hotel and Brass Elephant for hosting the event.
Reviewed white wines are: Yelcho, Chilean Sauvignon Blanc - Queen of Hearts, Los Alamos Chardonnay - Linden Estates, North Coast Chardonnay - Thirsty Fish, Central Coast Chardonnay.

Wow - you're not just a chef, you're a filmmaker as well! Nice job on the wine tasting video!! Now, off to my local 99.99 to see if I can find some of that Linden chard...
Nice Video! I think I'll stick with 2 buck chuck!
I missed the Aztec but did manage to put in a plug for you on my post. Follow this link
I LOVE this video.
Every now and then I have to walk on the wild side and try a wine from the 99¢ store. And I usually end up making faces just like your tasters : )
Still, before 2 buck chuck made cheap wine okay, I used to find truly good wines at the 99¢ store. So I kepe buying and hoping. And making faces!
Big fan of your blog, Chef 99 Cent. Great stuff!
Unfortunately, the "his local 99.99c only Store" link is broken and am dying to know which one carried all that wine. My local (Pico/Stewart) never has booze. Was it the Washington Blvd store? La Tijera?
hi Liam, unfortunately wine now make their appearance in small airline bottle sizes. La Tijera, Fairfax Ave. and the Hollywood (La Brea) 99c only Stores carry these small bottles of wine, and also 24 ouncers of beer.
Gotcha. Thanks for the info!
