And we just started carrying wines from South America which can be mind-blowing for the price, at least for now. Slap the name Cheval in front & bam! Argentinian juice costs $65 bucks. Beautiful juice it was, but....? Two items off the point: 1. Thanks for sending folks my way! I was googling a wine & was grinning to see blog pics at our shop. The dude you had breakfast with at Crave? 2. Checked out your column today in the Weekly--what a breath of fresh air! Will you be a regular? Hope so.

What you do is, you see a bottle you think you might like, you buy it. Take it out in the parking lot, open it up, and try it. If you like it, go back inside and buy more, because there won't be any more the next time you come. There is never anyone at TJ’s to help you.

Wine shop hanger on-ers are worse than crusty bar regulars anyday, cliff claven anyone? Al D - I have already secretly replaced his Chardonnay. Mwah hah! Tang - Yes, and you're right. Trader Joe's has some great wine, IF IF IF there is someone at your store to help you. Two Buck Chuck, however, is an abomination. Taj - but of course

We've got a bunch of great inexpensive wines that we either private label or control label. Charles Shaw is weak, but there IS plenty of good stuff to be found! Do you ever shop at Trader Joe’s?
