There’s good and bad Chuck. Because it’s such a bulk item, it’s often not stored properly and starts to go bad.

Not that I would personally know from experience, but true Chuck connoisseurs are savvy. Before making a volume purchase, they open a case or two, remove a bottle from each, stash the now one-bottle-short cases behind other merchandise (remembering which bottle came from which case), and check out. In the parking lot they pop the bottles and taste test. If either’s a good batch (meaning higher than “not disgusting” quality), they head back in to purchase the rest.

We entertain quite a bit. After we’ve gone through a few bottles of good stuff, I break out the Chuck. No one has ever complained. The blends that they call shiraz, merlot, and cabernet are all pretty drinkable.

I like guilt free feeling of opening a $3.00 bottle of sauce.

Cheers!
