Wine: Charles Shaw Cabernet Sauvignon

This is the Two-Buck Chuck from Trader Joe's you've probably heard about. IT'S DRINKABLE, and not in a my-god-I-cannot-believe-I'm-drinking-this-swill way like a shit wine like "Delicato" might make you feel.

I'm not wild (or even mildly enthusiastic) about the other Charles Shaw wines I've tried, but their Cab isn't bad at all -- and at TWO DOLLARS A BOTTLE I don't feel guilty about drinking it.

This is far from the best Cab I've ever tasted -- then again, it doesn't have that heavy British-beer sensation. It's more along the lines of a wine-like beverage.

I swear by this stuff. Cheap, decent table wine. No complaints. Worth at least six bucks a bottle. I've had far worse for thirty bucks a bottle. Highly recommended.
