Charles Shaw (various)
The famous "Two Buck Chuck" is very, very good for the price. A friend of mine engaged me in a blind taste testr, and I preferred the Shaw cab to a bottle of cab that was over $20. He was trying to make a point, but the point made may just have been that we are both bores with unsophisticated palates. SELF-HATING TRASH.
Seriously, I guess the dark secret of this stuff is not that it's the result of some bitter divorce or airline regulations, but that it's actually Franzia's prestige brand. (For the hoity-toity: Franzia is box wine, as if you didn't drink it every day.) I think Franzia might have cooked up some of those rumors themselves, so that people wouldn't associate it with their disgusting-but-compulsively-drinkable White Grenache boxes.
The big negative on Chuck is that he's only available at Trader Joe's. People in my nexk of the woods bring it back from Detroit by the case, and they should. It's good stuff.
There's a good scene in VH1's Supergroup series where Sebastian Bach CONFRONTS Anthrax's Scott Ian on the stairs to get him to drink some AWESOME red wine that he's loving. "Dude, dude, dude, just try it".
Scott takes a sip and goes "Yeah, Charles Shaw. You can get that at Trader Joe's for $2". Bach is blown away to discover it's a crummy wine! It's SO delicious. |
