2 Buck Chuck

$1.99 Charles Shaw Wine wins competition as best chardonnay of CA.

The connoisseurs may cringe, the snobs may even sob, but the judges have spoken: California's best chardonnay costs less than $3.

Charles Shaw Chardonnay, better known as "Two Buck Chuck," beat hundreds of other wines and was named the top prize in a prestigious tasting competition in California.

The affordable wine beat out 350 other California chardonnays to win the double gold. Second place went to an $18 bottle, and the most expensive wines at the event, at the price of $55, didn't even medal.

I'm LOL, but I'm not sure at what, the tasters, the other wines, or just that it happened in CA.

you gotta love that...

I've seen it at Trader Joe's, but bought the much more costly $3.99 wines they have there. I guess that was a mistake.

Since you haven't been around in a while, I'm just going to sit back and laugh at that quote to myself.

Where have you been anyway?

How can you go wrong at that price? Why not go all out, spend $3.99 and have the best?
