Greetings!
How would you rate their Shiraz and Cabs?
- TheEngineer - 05-10-2007
The wines are made by a company called Bronco, which is the US's fourth largest winery. They also make other brands such as Searidge and Canyon Oak. For $2.99, you could do a lot worse. In fact for me the whites are decent, again given the price.

eh.
Sorry, I cannot drink their reds. They give me an upset stomach. (This being after 3 totally separate instances.)

Yes but they leave you a lot of money for medicine.

Welcome to the board there WashW. They are the flagship wine of Trader Joes. Affectionately known in Calif as "2-Buck Chuck". Here in Az they sell for 2.99. IMHO they represent good P/Q but like CG not my cuppa'. WW

My "2-Buck Chuck" when I lived California, became "3-Buck Chuck" here in Oregon.
I actually like these wines, and for the price... Wow!
I often joke that I'm blessed with liking plenty of wines I can buy at Trader Joes ;-)
