The Los Angeles Times has a great
interview with Trader Joe himself, including this bit of advice about two-buck Chuck.
I tell people, on every case there's not only a date, there's an hour code. Write that down and if you like that bottle, go back and try to find the same date and hour. [The wine] will vary tremendously because of the volume -- 6 million cases or whatever it is a year. It is discontinuous; you cannot count that next month your Charles T. Shaw Cabernet Sauvignon will taste same as the last one.
Hey Brendan. Couldn't help but notice that your blog and my current series are one and the same beast. I'd love it if you could check out my blog at http://www.subtlebalance.com/author/mischa/ I'd love to link to your blog in exchange for a plug on yours. Let me know, and I look forward to hearing from you.
ReplyDeleteHi Brendan... I need your help since you have drank a lot of TJ wines. Wedding in October.. Hoping to cut cost by buying TJ wines.. I personally like Cabarnet Sauvignon's, and Reislings. Please can you help with 2 recommendations of each from TJ? Or 2 recommendations each of Red and White that would work well in a wedding that are cost effective? A choice of champagne would be nice too.. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteNetnuts, what kind of budget are you looking at per bottle?
ReplyDeleteI love two buck cab, but the chard tastes like feet. Not that I have tasted feet, but...
