Finally ran into some "duds...."

Crane Lake is Bronco Wine Company's non-Trader Joe's label for it's Two Buck Chuck wine. The Charles Shaw label at Trader Joe's has started (finally) to show some slow down in sales, so they made another label - same cheap wine, just another name on the bottle. That's really bottom feeding, Miles, and you may like it initially, but it will quickly taste like what it is - really cheap wine. Boost your budget up a few bucks and get into the $10 and (slightly)up range. Pick up some Bogle Cab and try it side by side with the Crane Lake, then decide. Personally, I wouldn't go for the Crane Lake, or Vendange, and I'm not saying that to be a wine snob.
