Two Buck Chuck is a blend of grapes (either red or white) purchased from
whatever vineyard has overage they can't use, and sold to a chain of grocery
stores (Called Trader Joe's) and sold under the name of Charles Shaw for
$1.99, hence the nickname Two Buck Chuck. The stuff is very drinkable.

not... it'll turn out to be just another conspiracy. However we won't

look at 2 buck chuck.)

Kathy, I have been through the 'wine corks, therefore wine bottles,
therefore drunken skunk' bit many times so it's all like water (or the
wine of your choice) off a ducks back.

I also (naturally) am fond of the Aussie red blends, but *my* poison of
choice comes in a cardboad box (yet another Aussie invention, but who's
counting). And for those readers who have not yet twigged, I happen to
be an inhabitant of the antipodes (as Kathy is very aware) so now you
may understand the reference to Aussie wines.

I thought this may bring enlightenment to some of you in the same way
that I need to be enlightened as to what a *2 buck chuck* may be. (The
mind boggles)
