Two Buck Chuck is sold exclusively at Trader Joe's but the closest Trader Joe's to us is 300 miles away.
We had previously beleived the owner of the winery was going through a messy divorce and came up with an idea on how to get back at his soon to be ex-wife. He would drop the price of the wine so low that she would get nearly nothing from the divorce.
Although this made for a good story, it is not true.
These inexpensive wines just began as the result of an oversupply of wine
I hope it is as good as we remember . . .
Happy New Year to you all!
I so want to like wine. It just seems like it would be so nice to have a glass with dinner or in front of the fire before bedtime, but I am just not a wine drinker. Hope you enjoy yours though. Have a wonderful new year!
ReplyDeleteWe will add this to our list of wines to try! Although, we too don't have a Trader Joe's close either. It is one of those places we visit when we travel on vacation. Enjoy and Happy New Year!!

Enjoy that Two Buck Chuck as the new year rolls in!
ReplyDeleteWe also enjoy Charles Shaw wine. Our Trader Joe's Market is just up the street from us. I kind of wish the divorce story was true...it makes for an interesting topic of conversation.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to You!!
Your friends are pretty dressed up for Two Buck Chuck! But when you are bring a CASE of it, I'd dress up also!
ReplyDeleteCheers! (clink-clink)
Our Trader Joes is about 30 minutes away. Every time I'm in there people are raving at the wine and the price! :) I love that place!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you! I hope 2011 is a wonderful year for you and your family...full of happy surprises!
