In the heat of summer, there is simply nothing better than a chilled glass of crisp white wine. While I truly love perusing the aisles of a local wine shop to find a fun new bottle to try, sometimes it’s nice to have a go-to that doesn’t require splurging.

For some of us, enjoying a glass of white or red with dinner is a pleasurable experience. But we may not always want to spend a fortune on a celebrated brand or a vintage bottle. Thankfully, there is a large variety of fortified vinos, blends, and varietals for just about any budget, which means you do not have to spend an arm and a leg for a good bottle with a nice ABV, or alcohol by volume.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging.
