Poll question: Two Buck Chuck

1. Smooth, no. Simple, maybe.

Sometimes that's all you need.

2. Never heard of it until about a month ago...

And I've heard the name three times since. Will need to investigate further, but I have a glut of wine right now after all the holiday gifts... this situation rarely persists:)

3. Lighter fluid

I couldn't quite place that last component of the finish.

After the first bottle, it's not that noticeable, but some sharp cheese and other snacks with it are really helpful.

I'd go with the next tier up at Trader Joes( 3.99-4.99); it's worth it.

4. You mean Two Buck Upchuck?

Utter swill.

5. I've had a few good ones

and then I've had some real bitter stuff. i drank a nice 2.99 a bottle stuff for a year until it was discovered and they raised the price over $10.00 a bottle.

6. I bought a bottle of CakeBread, on sale (@$50 Am I crazy? It's the best wine I've ever tasted

and is not easy to find.

Now all I need is some crunchy Cheetohs and I'll be all set.

7. Fred Franzia CEO of Bronco (makers of 'two buck Chuck') operates with the same business ethics as...

the late Ernest Gallo, but that's no surprise considering he's his nephew.

Gallo and Fred Franzia, and his Bronco outfit, are a blight on the California wine industry. Oh, and don't get me started on the organized crime angle either.
