We picked up a bottle of Charles Shaw Cabernet Sauvignon 2004, better known as Two Buck Chuck, at Trader Joe’s. (In Michigan it’s actually Three Buck Chuck.)
So how is it?
Three Buck Chuck is an uncomplex wine. Nicely dry and tannic. Not much nose at all. But also no bad taste or smell at all.
Three Buck Chuck would make a good everyday table wine. Simple tasting, nothing off-putting about it, and very good for the price. It’s a great baseline for decent red table wine.

Is Charles Shaw 2004 Chardonnay too old to serve? I have 3 bottles that have been stored at room temp in a wine rack. Thanks.
