I saw this on Good Morning America today....Charles Shaw wine has been picked as the #1 Chardonnay in California, becoming a gold medal winner. The kicker is... it retails at a whopping $1.99. It's otherwise known as "Two Buck Chuck," and it beat out Chardonnays that cost over $100 a bottle. Another bit of interesting info... the silver medal went to a $17 bottle of wine. Just goes to show you, the price tag isn't everything when it comes to picking a tasty wine.
Unfortunately, we can't get ol' Chuck here. They only sell it at Trader Joe's grocery stores. But you can check out the Wiki here.
Now it's your turn. What's your favorite cheapo wine? ;)

Hey Elizabeth,
It's long lost Erica Pepper (AKA Kutait) I have spent the last hour looking at yor blog and the other blogs of the peole I know. It has brought back some great memories. Just wanted to say hello. If you have time, call or email (I don't have a blog). 405 371 3255 mrspepper@atalifeskills.com
my Mom and Rea have a case of $3 Trader Joe wine that a friend brought back to them from Georgia, I think, and it's not too bad. It's definitely good enough for me to drink :)
OMG! My grandmother loves this stuff. She talks about it every summer when she's home (she spends six months in Florida (where she apparently drinks this with all her friends) and the other six back up North).
holy crap it's erica!
