Narly Head double black, 1924.
Usedto, It's a small world we live in...... I really enjoy 1924 but, up here in Ohio it's hard to come by so it's one of those, you see it, better buy it things.Gnarly Head wine is made by Delicato Winery in Manteca, about 7 miles from here. The Zinfandel grapes that I used to make my Sisters Joens wine go to Delicato. (My late mother used to play Bridge with the wife of one of the owners).
To get an idea of what you like and dislike, you're going to need to bring home multiple bottles. If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, you'll be able to find quite a few in the $8 - $13 range. Avoid the temptation to grab the $5 bottles! Have fun trying different wines.
It is, but it's $2.49 for a reason.Isn't "Two Buck Chuck" a regular item at Trader Joe's?

I used to buy $2.49 wine in the 70's. Compared to my wages now and then that's less than 50 cents a bottleIt is, but it's $2.49 for a reason.
Thanks for the history... except for the part about the "family grapes."It gets even smaller. Read on....
Two Buck Chuck was the brainchild of Bronco Winery in Ceres. They bought out the Charles Shaw label and marketed a cheap win through Trader Joe's.
Bronco winery is owned by Fred Franzia - part of Franzia winery until Coca Cola bought it out in 1973. Fred is also a nephew of Ernest Gallo of Gallo winery. Another side note - my late mother also played Bridge with Fred's mother. Our family's grapes (except the Lodi property) go to Bronco Winery.

The vineyard is right next to our almond orchard. We have family grapes and family nuts, I guess.Thanks for the history... except for the part about the "family grapes."
Wine....
