msmofet and taxlady...I believe he means that he poured the inexpensive wine into decanters so no one would know that it was Charles Shaw wine aka "2 Buck Chuck" (now 2.99). He said nobody knew because there was no label on the decanter and the wine is excellent quality. Therefore, he served an inexpensive wine and pulled it off as expensive to unsuspecting guests.Case of two buck chucks. I decantered them and no one knew. I scored.
He bought a case of 2 dollar a bottle wine and decanted it to get some air in it and mellow it some.
I buy some 2 dollar wine from time to time and like it too. Foxbrook is the label I have been getting.
Score for Roadfix!
On Edit: The term"Chuck" comes from 2 dollar label called Charles Shaw.

I saw the same thing done on the Today Show as an experiment and same thing...blindfolded tasters picked 2 Buck Chuck as the most expensive of the 3 wines offered, 2 of which were $100+

I have never seen wine at my Tj I guess I need to look better.Thanks folks, for interpreting my funny talk!![]()
It's there.I have never seen wine at my Tj I guess I need to look better.
My store is tiny and the isles aren't that long and none are devoted to wine.It's there.
Perhaps you should speak with the store manager. They should at least carry their house brand, if any.My store is tiny and the isles aren't that long and none are devoted to wine.
Thanks guys. I figured it was cheap wine, but that expression had me completely baffled. I buy decent, but cheap wine here in a box: ~$30 for a 4 litre box
Dang! I envy your California wine prices.
It's there.
TL darlin, I'm sending you a sympathy card. Holy cow it's criminal to have to pay $30.00 for boxed wine. I always have a box in the fridge, and we even pack a box in our luggage when we travel. I like Vella brand the best, and I've never paid more than $10.00 a box. It's excellent wine to boot.

I've had "two buck Chuck" from TJ's but I really prefer Vella box.
Huh? The things you learn here in the DC forum...wine in a box??? And I went to the website you posted and it said that their wine is good in fish & seafood marinades...people seriously marinade fish??? Fish has such a mild flavor to begin with.TL darlin, I'm sending you a sympathy card. Holy cow it's criminal to have to pay $30.00 for boxed wine.

When you said you packed boxed wine in your suitcases I thought you meant a boxed case of bottled wine...
...I was thinkin' now there's a gal who enjoys travlin'.
Then I clicked on your website...phew

In New Jersey regular grocery stores CANNOT sell alcohol. Thats why there is usually right next door (most times sharing a common inner wall but definatly seperate) the stores Liquor Store. Example Shop-Rite Supermarket & Shop-Rite Liquors.Not all TJ's sell wine.
It's dependent on the local government whether or not the store is granted a license to sell alcohol. e.g. only one TJ's in MA has a liquor license. The one near me does not.
