Two Buck Chuck?!?!?!?!

[White Wine Lover]

Did anyone see the USA Weekend for this past weekend (or usaweekend.com)? There was an article entitled "Good Wines, Great Prices" on p. 24. They mention a line called "Two Buck Chuck" (Bronco Wine Co. Charles Shaw brand) as "surprisingly drinkable", includes merlot, chard, SB and CS, and is sold in Trader Joe's stores in California for $1.99.

I am certainly NOT dying to try any, but I was just curious if anyone on the board has ever tasted this stuff, is alive to tell the tale [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/eek.gif[/img], and is not too embarrassed [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/redface.gif[/img] to admit it to comment. I'm just a novice here (certainly not a wine snob!), haven't tried many wines much over $20, but $2 seems unbelievable to be drinkable.
