7-Eleven, Inc., and Seven-Eleven Japan have joined forces to introduce two private-label wines--Yosemite Road Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are produced in California exclusively for 7-Eleven, and will be available in the companies' 15,000 convenience, department, and grocery stores, Denny's family restaurants, and department stores (?!) in Japan. I haven't had the privilege of trying these wines yet, but their $3.99 price tag seems like a compelling enough reason to do a little research...

Jay Leno had this item on his show on Tuesday...the audience was in stitches. He said, "I guess it's for people who think boxed wine is too pretentious."
And being able to have wine with one's meal at Denny's? I wonder which one would go with grits.....
