Charles Shaw is sold exclusively through Traders Joes. You can buy it in Virginia since Virginia allows supermarkets to sell beer and wine. In Va it sells for 3.35, aprox, a bottle 1.99 in Ca. It has done rather well in blind taste tests. Not to well when the snob factor is in play. Being a wine drinker and a world travelor I compare it to many local wines I find in Italy, France and Spain. If your looking for a bottle of wine to have for dinner and you din't want to spend 20.00 plus, two Buck Chuck is a very nice way to go. I usually buy two cases at a time when I get to the DC area. 6 Cabs, 6 merlots, 6 shiraz and 6 chardonnay's. All for 80.00. Try it for yourself and make your own decision.
