You may have heard this already, but so many people have been asking me about it that I couldn't let it go unnoticed! The shocking results were leaked on June 28th and declared "Two Buck Chuck" - as the wine is affectionately called due to its $1.99 price tag - the <a href="http://www1.pressdemocrat.com/article/20070628/NEWS/706280337&amp;SearchID=73285627763793" target="_blank">highest scoring white wine</a>. The official verdict shows that 64 judges awarded "Two Buck Chuck" the prestigious Double Gold award, placing it first over 350 other Chardonnays, and in the top of the entire pack of 3,029 wines. </p> <p>There are those who feel that the results should not be taken into account as the judges are not true, trained wine professionals. <span class="inline left"></span></p> <blockquote><p>The California State Fair competition is dismissed by some critics as representing broad-based consumer tastes rather than the palates of true wine connoisseurs.</p></blockquote> <p>Whether the outcome will be taken seriously or not, one thing can be certain, thousands of cases of this Chardonnay will be purchased. To be a part of the hype head to your local <a href="http://www.traderjoes.com/locations.asp" target="_blank">Trader Joe's</a> and taste for yourself. At just $1.99 a bottle, you can buy one for all of your friends! </p> <p>Source: <a href="http://www1.pressdemocrat.com/article/20070628/NEWS/706280337&amp;SearchID=73285627763793" target="_blank">The Press Democrat</a><br /> <a href="http://psalty.egloos.com/1008975" target="_blank">Image Source</a></p> http://www.yumsugar.com/404101#comment white wine wine news chardonnay Charles Shaw 2005 Chardonnay 2 buck chuck Trader Joe's Tue, 17 Jul 2007 10:13:38 -0700 partysugar http://www.yumsugar.com/404101
