Trader Joe’s has long been known for its “2 buck Chuck” –
very cheap Charles Shaw brand wines.
They used to be $1.99, hence the name.
Here is a Wikipedia article on the subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Shaw_wine
If you wanted to be accurate these days, you would have
to call this bottle “3.29 Buck Chuck” – but hey, $3.29 for a BOTTLE OF WINE is
nothing to sneeze at…

| $3.29 for a bottle of Pinot Grigio - how can you not try it? |
We do not get the Charles Shaw brand wines very
often. We do not skip them because they
are BAD, but simply because there are SO MANY WINES to choose from at Trader
Joe’s that it is fun to experiment! This
Pinot Grigio was better than we expected.
It was really good! It was easily comparable to other Pinot
Grigios. It would, of course, be a fun
experiment to decant a couple bottles, one Charles Shaw and one more expensive
brand, and do a blind taste test.
Am I saying it is hands down the best wine in the
world? Nope. But does it stink? Noooo!
It is fine! And it is $3.29, folks. For drinking with dinner, or for cooking
with, the price cannot be beat.
Price - $3.29
