WE AGED TWO BUCK CHUCK; HERE'S WHAT IT TASTED LIKE

 Two Buck Chuck doesn’t exactly have a reputation for aging. While arguably the most well-known wine in America, Trader Joe’s Charles Shaw wine is more often the target of lampoons than accolades among the wine-drinking set. To be honest, I think they overdo it. The fact is, millions of drinkers enjoy Charles Shaw wines, and for that reason alone it deserves more street cred than it gets. These wines provide an entry into the wine world that keeps wine industry folk (yours truly included) employed. I also happen to have a higher opinion of the libation’s taste than others. Two Buck Chuck is a reliable, widely available easy-drinking red. And it tastes pretty good with takeout pizza, too!
