Charles Shaw blend
Yup. The infamous "Two Buck Chuck" from Trader Joe's.
TJ only recently opened here in the north ATL area and while the $2 price had increased to $3. Georgia liquor laws, though, prevent signature brands unavailable elsewhere. So, all the package stores have been able to stock it and they cut the price from $3 to $2.49 a bottle. Consequently TJ has cut their prices as well. That being said, this is a really drinkable wine...especially given the price. We've purchased cases of the Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet and haven't been disappointed with any of them. I don't expect it to rank up there with a $20 bottle, but I believe it can hold its own with $12-15 bottles of similar wine. Any of y'all have similar experiences?
