Excellent! James, thanks for the expert feedback. I just went and checked my own stock, and see that all my Merlots are 2001. Sheer good luck on my part, none of it (yet) attributable to expertise. That's why I have friends like you: to educate me in these matters.

Christine: according to the Trader Joe's website: "Unfortunately, we don't offer a mail order service."

Looks like you'll need to have a friend in California or Nevada shop for you, then mail you your case(s) of wine.

Is there anyplace in NYC, NY where I can purchase this wine.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN FIND IN CONNICTICUT

Wanda and Charm, please read the entire thread before posting.

Can Two Buck Chuck be purchased by mail?

How can I buy Two Buck Chuck in Colorado?

My wine? Sure... please remit $1200 to PayPal account "eatmyshorts@hotmail.yahoo.msn.bigfoot.com".

You people really can't - or won't - read.

Where can I get this in Kentucky, near Cincinnati, OH?

Chris,

Thank you. I've been so annoyed by people who can't - or won't - read my original article, its follow-ups, or the Trader Joe's website that I've been ignoring the "where can I get this in X" questions.

Megan,

Because this is my blog. Because some of you people have no reading skills.

Hi;
Can Charles Shaw wine be shipped to Mississippi. I am dying to try it! Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Where can Shaw wine be purchased in Texas ?

PEOPLE! Read carefully all the other comments before asking, "Where can I buy this in X city in Y state?"

Can someone state the only places you can get this wine?

I live in NC and it isn't here.

I am also looking a place to purchace this "two buck chuck". I live in North Carolina so if anyone has any suggestions on how I can get my hands on some it would be greatly appreciated.

I am also looking for a place to purchase or order two buck chuck i live in Boca Raton, Fl.

I live in Alabama and asked a friend on a trip to Vegas to try and pick me up some. He brought me back 2 bottles. OMG!! This stuff is great. It beats your $20 bottles by a long shot! I have one bottle left. I have a friend working in CA and she is keeping an eye out for me some too. She said that they never have it in shock, its always flying off the shelves. Believe the hype! This stuff is GREAT!

Where can I purchase "TWO BUCK WINE" ??? I live in Ocala, Florida.

where can we purchase two buck chuck in GA.

You people are too funny! I was really getting a kick out of Russell getting so angry, but hey...I was too! Makes you want to go to the nearest store and buy a truck load of this stuff!

Why is Trader Joes the only one selling such a popular wine, can someone answer that? This is ridiculous!

Tracey, that's an easy one to answer: Trader Joe's makes Charles Shaw wines! They own the label... so of course you wouldn't find it elsewhere. Follow the CNN link in the original article for the full story.

To the rest of you: stop asking where you can find this wine, and check out Trader Joe's website.

Do any of you know were to purchase in NYC. Thanks I look forward to drinking it.

Like everyone else, I'm interested in buying 2 Buck Chuck but because I live in New York, the Trader Joes in my area is not allowed to sell this product by law. You can't get it ordered through the mail so I can't get it unless I travel to another state or visit every mom and pop liquor store in the area and ask if they carry it. If anyone is able to find out where you can find this wine (especially if you live in Long Island), let me know. I had it recently when I visited a friend in Boston and it was really good.

PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO ORDER TWO BUCK CHUCK IN TEXAS.

Can I purchase the Two Buck Chuck wine in Texas? If yes, where?

Dear Richard and Yolanda,

You have joined the ranks of idiots who comment without reading. It appears you're in ample company. Enjoy life in Lotusland.

You can buy it here on line:
http://www.greatfoodz.com/product/8WICSWINE

But it'll cost you about $7.00 a bottle shipped to you.

Right HERE folks.

Where can I by this Two buck chuck in southern California? - OK, OK, only joking, after all, I am drinking this golden nector right now, god I love living here, with $2 wine and Arnie as the president what more could you ask for? - woops, I skipped forward a few years there....

For those whom wish to know where "Trader Joe's" are located. Log-on to the website. You can go through Yahoo or Google for the address. Unfortunately, for you guys in Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina, Florida and Georgia there is no Trader Joe's within your states at this time.

Ilive on Long Island New York where can I purchase your wines.

And I thought reading was a lost art! You all don't need any more wine. And hey good luck with reading the eye test on your next driver's exam.

Here's a site: http://www.dailytexanonline.com/news/2004/01/28/Focus/Look-Out.Boones.Farm-589813.shtml

It's a shame some of the responses have to be so rude - I did a search for "Charles Shaw" wine and the page that came up didn't have any of the old posts that are being referenced. Also, the wine is made by Bronco Winery and they have a license agreement with Trader Joe's with plans to sell their wines in other outlets soon - possibly in some of the other states where there are no Trader Joe's stores. Good Luck!

Please tell me where I can purchase "Two Buck Chuck"in the New Jersey area. Thanks.

two buck chuck is basically cheap blended swill from the lowest quality grapes from the california central valley -- if you want some buy a box of franzia box wine made from the same grapes and the same company -- bronco wine group -- the benefit with the boxed stuff is that you won't have to go out and buy a cork screw and you will not embarrass yourself by telling your friends you found this great new wine

There are six Trader Joe's locations in Maryland and none of them sell the 2 Buck Chuck. Therefore, I think the question should be which Trader Joe's locations carry the stuff.

I live in Denver and am trying to find a way to order this winw? Can you help me?

YES!!!

NO!!!!

As a TJ employee, lemme say that it's ours, and won't be anyone elses anytime soon. And it is the same as that 5 buck a box box wine. Why are you people soooo into this stuff? It's alright, I guess (i'm a little biased after lugging thousands of cases of it for the past 2 years) but no need to freak out. And to whomever runs this board/blog....i feel so sorry for you. 90% of the above posts are just wastes of bandwidth. Try dealing with those same people everyday yammering on and on about how good this "two buck james mer-lot" is....

---off soapbox now
:)

* giggles *
Oooooooh a HUGE part of me wants to ask where I can get the wine (it's seems to be the IN thing to do!) - but I CAN read and this has to be the FUNNIEST thread ever. (OK, where's the sign, somebody needs a sign..) You hsould SO send it to Charles Shaw, he would LOVE it!
Now, I'm off to http://www.traderjoes.com/locations/index.asp...I too want to try this cheap wine that's supposedly SO fine...May you all be happily sloshed this holiday season...

Charles Shaw wines are sold exclusively at Trader Joe's stores. The wine is available at over 150 Trader Joe's stores across the country, but not available in all locations due to state and local laws regulating the sale of wine. Here's a list of Trader Joe's locations where the elusive elixir, sold in 750 ml bottles, can be purchased:

Arizona (all stores)
California (all stores)
Illinois (all stores)
Indiana (all stores)
Massachusetts (Brookline, Cambridge and Framingham locations only)
Michigan (all stores) Nevada (all stores)
New Jersey (Westfield location only)
Ohio (all stores)
Oregon (all stores)
Virginia (all stores)
Washington State (all stores)

The price of Charles Shaw varies from $1.99 to $3.39, depending on location. We'd love to offer Charles Shaw to our customers for $1.99 in all stores, but the transportation costs, taxes and various state distribution laws add substantial costs. And if you're a regular at Trader Joe’s, you know that we change our retails only when our costs change. We always try to have honest, low everyday prices. Other companies may have just line-priced the wine for $2.99 everywhere for simplicity. We prefer the complexity, especially when it gives our customers the lowest price possible. We think even at $3.39 in Ohio, it's still an excellent deal.

The Johnny Yahoo that posted in July is completely wrong. The Owner/producer of Two Buck Chuck is Bronco Winery. Contrary to what Yahoo Johnny says-Bronco is not afffilited with Franzia the wine box producey; hasn;t been for 30 years.

it is good wine for $2 for a 750 ml bottle - $3 in illinois - but, there ends up being no savings if you purchase a 1500 ml bottle of $5 or $6 sutter home or vengance at your local grocery store. and, the hangover feels like a $2 battle of wine!

Yes Charles Moore Shaw is my real name. First off......I live close to the Sea of Tranquility,.. you know on the moon? How in the hell can I get it here?

This is how crazy this sounds when someone gives you a website that tells specifically which states are able to distribute the wine. It took all but 1 minute to discover that I couldn't get it in Austin Texas by means of any store, but thank God I have a friend in Bellingham Washington that can ship it to me..... Bottom line, just read the damn posts and ask questions afterwards. By the way my friends do call me "Two-Buck Chuck" and I was amazed to see my name on a bottle of wine. I did get to try a bottle that someone had sent to me on my B-Day. Thanks Wendy!

Keep Trying,
Chuck Shaw

you are paying for the glass and cork that surround the wine. I would pay more for bottled water. save yourself some money and buy the box stuff. different producer, yes, but from the same big lot of bulk grapes.

Had my first taste of Two Buck Chuck last weekend while visiting California on the manditory Trader Joe's shopping spree. The Shiraz was quite tasty. After a weekend of wine tasting through the snippy Napa Valley and lower key Paso Robles area, was very pleasantly surprised. Cheers!

Cna we mail order through UPS or FEDEX by the case?

OK, you all have a subjective opinion of the quality of 2-buck Chuck wines. You all looked at the price tag *and then* tasted the wine. But, does anybody have objective evidence like a blind taste test with friends? or a blind test by "wine experts"? Without that I'm not convinced one way or the other.

Consumer's Reports a while back did a blind taste test of many beers. Low-priced Old Milwaukee won. I'm convinced.

Have to agree with Kron. If anyone plans on purchasing large quantities of this swill ... I have drank my share of "good" wines, and the TBC Shiraz is really the only one worth drinking.

Please help! I live in the Bay Area, can anyone tell me where I can get this wine??

;^)

Are there any plans to open a Trader's Joes grocery store in Austin, Texas?

Yo I live in san jose? Can anyone tell me where to get wine glasses? I have so much wine but I cannot drink it without a wine glass! OH no, help me soon, or I will die of thirst! where can I find 2 buck CHUCK!?!?!?!?

Where can I buy two buck chuck in Dallas Texas?

what Stores can I buy two buck chuck wine in Michigan? Thanks:)

I"LOOKING FOREWARD, TOO TRYING TWO BUCK CHUCK. WILL I BE ABLE TOO FLY IT BACK TO PHILLY? J.T.

There are a lot of inexpensive wines available. Two-buck rivals any jug wine at a better price with a great label. If you don't like, give it away. At $2-3, who cares. Find a friend visiting a city with a Trader Joe's and have them bring back a case. I can't believe anyone would drink out of a box!

Now I'm really perplexed, I live in San Francisco and Charles Shaw is my neighbor.
He doesn't know why his name is on the label but it's made him really popular! He says he can't complain as even the Mondavi sons have asked for his autograph. What's Charles Shaw to do???
Drink up!
