On the ride home yesterday, I heard on WTOP that the Charles Shaw 2005 Chardonnay (also known as Two Buck Chuck) won a wine competition in a blind tasting. If you have never heard of Two Buck Chuck, then you’re missing out. I remember hearing the stories and tasting it a few years ago when it first made waves around the country. It is inexpensive wine ($1.99 per bottle in California…hence the nickname) that is exclusively sold at Trader Joe’s.
