Two Buck Chuck! While I am pretty particular about the wine I consume, i have to recommend 2 varietals from the Charles Shaw winery. First, the Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a very narrow window of temperature (as it's warming) where it really tastes just fantastic. The dry berry accents are quite enjoyable. Second, the Sauvignon Blanc. It's fresh, fruity - and certainly worth the 2 dollars! Lastly, the Beaujolais nouveau (seasonal), is excellent served a little on the cool side.

*let's keep in mind that it is $2... I use the Chuck to balance out my weekly wine habit, and it does just the trick!

*also... i'm really not big on the Merlot (tastes like pickles to me), or the Chardonnay (reminiscent of cardboard)

why do i love tj's.....
their spicy hummus and yummy pita chips, greek salad to go, scharfenber chocolate bars!,oh citerio imported salame and provolone...jumbo cashews...i could go on and on...oh wait one more thing...their black bean dip and salsa verde....ok that should do it!

How can you not love Trader Joe's? They make me happy. One piece of advice, if you go on the weekend, don't be in a hurry - it's a recipe for much frustration.
I've seen grown men cry when samples of philo-wrapped shrimp have run out. I've thrown many a superbowl party catered in large part by TJ and co

and soon, oh so soon, there will be one within walking distance
*sigh*

Words cannot describe the sadness I feel at being separated from my Trader Joe's. I find myself in a barren wasteland (Denver) that offers me no cheap Chilean wine, obscenely low priced almonds, nor adorable mini-toasts for my hummus.

These three words... "Two Buck Chuck!" (via Trader Joe's)

It's all about the OJ and tamales.. Mmm ;)

Best place to shop for organic groceries! Yummy samples to taste everyday. Customer service is excellent. If you really want to try an item because you're not sure of the taste, then employees will let you taste it before you buy it. Everything in the store is satisfactory! (via Trader Joe's)

This store is the best! Try the Veggie Flax Seed Chips! Yummy, and oh so good for your body! (via KatyShops)
