Kent, The problem with the Charles Shaw label, as I believe I've mentioned before on ba.food, is that wines from many different sources get bottled with the same label. Bronco Wine Co. (the owner of the name) buys wine in bulk from producers all over the state and bottles them all under the Charles Shaw label. Therefore, one bottle of Charles Shaw Chardonnay may or may not be identical to another. So you and Patok might be talking about completely different wines for all that you know. This is one of the big problems with 2BC for me: even if you find one bottle that you like, you may not be able to get more of it.

Mark, what you write makes much sense. It accounts for the different reactions to what ought to be the same wine. Now what is left is for you and Bi!! to coordinate your stories. Is 2BC the product of industrial growing and a chemical plant? Of different wine sources? Both?

How I hate this sort of marketing - I see it now; 2005 was a rather large harvest on top of a record in 2004.
Thus, many wineries resorted to "Marketers Labels" purely for the export market - just to turn grape juice into $$$.
I have never heard Lobster Key until today - it is not available in NZ (although I have identified the winery bottling it) - I see it is available there for $3.99.
From what you say, it is $3.98 over priced!

I would not dain to cross you sir, I have seen what happens :-) But I must hasten to add that most foul theft of one of Whangerai's sons who though oddly enough is claimed by Australia is famed in Nashville and married to one of Hawaii's most famous actresses. I speak of course of Keith Urban and the woman who is almost as Hawaiin as Barack Obama, Nicole Kidman.
shall be lifting glasses of wine from both sides ofthe Tasman this weekend. Take care.
