So I was standing outside the other day grilling up a steak and drinking the last bit of the Tarazza Malbec that I had. Someone I know who lives in the condo complex we live in came by and we started talking. We talked about wine, cigars, and beer. I made the comment that I wish I had some more wine to have with my steak with and he kindly offered up a bottle of La Boca Cabernet that he is a big fan of. This wine is not as big or as bold as your traditional Cab, so I did knock a trophy off for that but overall it was not too bad. Understand this…It is a 4 dollar bottle of wine…if you are looking for something that tastes decent and are not into finding all the subtle nuances and flavors a wine can have than go ahead and give this a try. |

- Simple
- Cherries on the tip of the tongue
- Hints of grapefruit at first followed by a very dry finish
- Pleasant tasting but too simple and not enough depth
- This wine is like an attractive girl that is very shallow…You can handle her in doses every now and then but you do not want to spend a great amount of time or money on her….Luckily for you this one is very cheap

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.
