Two Buck Chuck is one of the best wines I have ever had.

I totally agree - you won't find a better wine for under $20 anywhere... Have you tried the new Two Buck Chuck Beaujolais? Also very good, although the Merlot is my favorite...

You're right. I can't drink their Cabernet or Chardonnay, but at $2 a pop their Merlot is amazing.

There has only been one Merlot worth drinking produced in California in the past 25 years: the 1985 Matanzas Creek. An exceptional wine, not yet fully mature in magnums, it is reminiscent of a Cheval Blanc in a good year.

You wildly exaggerate the quality of 2buck. The red is ok, the white sucks. Neither comes close to other inexpensive wines from Chile for example. Try Marcus James Merlot if you want to taste a really good, inexpensive wine.

I love TJ and find they have great prices on wine but don't drink the 2buck (3buck now.) I rarely pay more than $6 for a bottle of wine.

Living in Chicago I can find inexpensive wine in many places as well as TJ. What I really like there is the bread now that is truly great.
