Two Buck Chuck Takes A Bite Out Of Napa

This guys meep is piled up by the case at all Trader Joes I've ever been too. This article is either written wonderfully or this guy is a riot to hang out with.

Excellent read. I'll buy this guys wine just to help out with his war on pretentiousness. I never could understand paying so much money for wine that tastes like meep just because some meepbag stuck his meeping nose in the glass and claimed it was special.

Just because they're meepbags doesn't mean they're wrong about something. Case in point, this post.

it goes well with mcnuggets.

Fermented grape juice does not make the wine.

if you honestly believe that bud light tastes the same as a belgian craft beer, then you are the type of meepabeefe that would pay $2 for a meep bottle rather than $10 for a decent bottle.

i've had some charles shaw wines, and thought it was OK, but nothing spectacular. I've had some simply awsome $10-20 wines tho. and agreed on the markup of wines at resturants. it's pretty obscene. I've seen $6 bottles sold at $8/glass at resturants before. madness.

Yes, I agree with that but it doesn't make them right either.

I've had more expensive wines that tasted terrible to me regardless of how highly rated they are among so called connoisseurs. I have taste buds as well and I want them to be happy with what I'm drinking. I think there really are people that pretend to like things just because someone told them they should.

There are plenty of people who love bud light but my beer tastes are a bit more adventurous. I prefer Stouts, traditional Pale's and British Ales. I don't consider my preferences in beer to be refined, just more adventurous.

That said, I haven't tried the Two Buck Chuck and for all I know it may taste like meep to me. What I appreciate is this guys stance that wine snobs are no more an authority over what tastes good than we are. Drink what you like and don't overpay for meep you don't like.

I am also 100% meepabeefe, so there's always that.

Dude, ever try CANADIAN beer?

(eh?)

I don't much like wine. This dude sounds like my kind of guy though.

That being said, $20 bottle of wines often taste like a wombat's asscrack. Compare Stonehedge Cabernet to Lindeman's.

Lindeman's = $4.99/bottle

Stonehedge = $19.99/bottle

I would just as soon beat off with a cheesegrater than to ever taste Stonehedge again and Lindeman's is pretty meep good.
