2 buck chuck at Trader Joes - HANDS DOWN the best bottle of red wine for the money.



Definitely. For the last 30 years or so (she's retired now), my mom worked at the company that prints the Charles Shaw labels, and 2 Buck Chuck was previously a $7-10 bottle that just got relabelled because they had a huge surplus of grapes one year and wanted a way to offload the extra. They then realized that it was a mega-seller, and started growing and bottling it specifically.



Yeah...but Charles Shaw is made by...FRANZIA! Gasp! Naw, it's still a great table wine.

I like Ravenswood Zinfandel; the generic is OK, the valley-specific ones are better. Velvety. I'm not real particular about years.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

You forgot about Milat.....

Milat 2004 Pine Station Rosé $9.00

The winery was a blast to visit.

Yeah but that is a rose not a red, it's more in the white category since you drink it well chilled. Not that I don't love that wine. Hmmm...I may have to order some more soon.
Fly it like you stole it!
