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.:giggling: :giggling:

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.

IMHO, I think most wines are overrated. Just give me something that tastes good, is sweet, and maybe a little bit exotic. Most of them taste terrible, stale, and aren't worth the price. My dad's a "conesseur" or whatever, and for that I'm fortunate because I get all the "crappy" wines which I think are the best... :DSince you haven't been around in a while, I'm just going to sit back and laugh at that quote to myself.:giggling: :giggling: :giggling: :giggling:

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?:beerchug: :giggling:
