The "2 Buck Chuck" Thread!
Charles Shaw wine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is my first bottle of "2 Buck Chuck". In this thread I will will try all that is available in this area.
The first selection is Merlot. Served with swiss cheese and crackers.

For $2.99 it was pretty good. Definitely better than Barefoot Merlot.

Where is my glass?
There’s a promise I need you to make
While I’m gone you take care of the love
And I’ll deal with the hate.
Don’t worry about me; I’ll be all right
Just care for your children and sleep tight
I’ll keep you safe on my watch tonight

Boy you filled your glass awful high. A good wine should please other senses too. You want to enjoy the aroma and bouquet of the wine. I have gotten into wine making and for about $60 I can make 30 bottles so it is actually the real 2 buck chuck. The last two batches I made are very comparable to $15 - $20 bottles.

When we rarely buy wine that is what we get so I will have to see if this is available around here.

I don't drink wine. Can't even stand the smell. I used to live in wine cou try and hated the smell of the grapes fermenting.

The Charles Shaw wines aren't bad at all, although they're closer to three bucks than two anymore. Try that merlot with Gouda cheese, it'll taste even better.

I much prefer reds to whites, although I recently had an excellent Pinot Gris and a great Chardonnay that I really liked. The only white wine that I drink regularly is "Evolution 9," a white meritage from Sokol-Blosser in Oregon. Originally Posted by pgg

Put the bottle into a blender for 20 seconds.
Aerate the crap out of it, and it turns out to be pretty good wine for $2.50.I'm your huckleberry...
