Two Buck Chuck

Tonight I'm finally getting a chance to enjoy Trader Joe's legendary Two Buck Chuck, although in this case it was actually $2.99 in Cambridge (Three Buck Chuck). But I tell ya, it's not bad, in fact it's even respectable! The Cabernet Sauvignon was very smooth and much better than some $15 bottles I've imbibed.

Trader Joe's really deserves a post all of its own, but I should at least mention that it's a great American health food store chain featuring organic, delicious, and most importantly affordable foods. Many of their products, including this Charles Shaw wine, are distributed exclusively by Trader Joe's. As you can read in its Wikipedia entry, "Business Week reports that Trader Joe's pays better-than-union wages, generous bonuses, and contributes an additional 15.4% of each worker's gross pay into a company-funded retirement plan." These bastards really need to start opening outlets in Canada.
