So I don’t know if the store Trader Joes is just a west coast thing or not but who’s drinking their $2 wine like its going out of style? Apparently Charles Shaw (the wine maker) bought an assload of grapes at the right time and has been producing huge quantities of respectable quality wine for winos prices. I’ve been on a bottle a night for at least the last few months. Anyone else?

Not me - but there are a lot of vineyards here on the west coast north to central south.

My sister was telling me about this <$2 wine and how good it actually is. Consequently, my wife bought some last week and she said it tastes pretty good.

I'll admit to knowing nothing about this particular wine, but Trader Joe's is most definitely not a west coast exclusive.

I'm in Indy and live about 200 yards from one.

It looks to be a west coast/up north kind of thing....
