This is a limited time availability wine available from Trader Joes. We’re not certain if it will return again this year or if it is gone for good. Very hard to pass up at $1.99 a bottle and we were not disappointed when we opened up the first one at home. This flavor profile and texture of this wine can be found in others for $8 – $10. If you can still find this at your TJ’s pick it up!!! |
| $2 from Trader Joes |

- Smells of strawberries, pepper and sawdust
- Soft mouth feel and is very smooth after decanting
- Tastes of cedar and nectarine with a medium finish
- Changes and evolves as you drink it. This is a wine that keeps you interested all the time… You know its crazy buy you enjoy your time with it… it’s fun because you don’t know what is coming next… but it all makes sense when you realize it is a very schizophrenic wine.

This wine is a Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma California. This is the legendary “2 Buck Chuck” that is sold exclusively by Trader Joe’s. There has been speculation and stories about why this wine is being sold for $2. According to Trader Joes however, the value priced Charles Shaw wines began as a result of an excessive supply, not because of other urban legends you may have heard. For the price, this is a great wine well worth giving a try. We have compared this wine to others in the same price point and above ($6.00 – $10.00 a bottle) and Charles Shaw comes out on top!

- Strong cherries in the bouquet.
- Notes of green apple.
- Hints of oak and plum.
- Medium tannins – decanting is recommended.
- An easy to drink wine, that can be enjoyed with a variety of foods.
- Makes a great Sangria.
- This wine is not the girl that wears Gucci, Fendi, or Prada. She wears baggy sweats and a baseball cap with her hair pulled through the back and she is proud of it. If you can get past the department store store clothes she wears, you will find she is definitely worth taking the time to get to know. Unlike the Cheap Red Wine we strongly suggest trying this bargain wine out.
