Two buck chuck

It’s not like I never drink. In fact I’m supposed to have the occasional glass of wine; it’s good for my heart. I’m an experienced drinker. I’ve had that glass of wine with dinner several times over the last few years.

We made friends with some neighbors at the RV Park in Glenwood. As they were leaving, they dropped off a card attached to a bottle of wine. Charles Shaw wine; two buck chuck. Two dollars a bottle. My brothers know about it. I’ve heard mention of it several times over the years, but I’ve never actually encountered it. Well, we don’t want to isolate ourselves from any enriching cultural experiences, so I decided to have a glass before dinner. Two buck chuck…. Not bad.

I was just finishing the glass when dinner was served, so I thought I’d have another… I thought I’d have another, but I was wrong. I got halfway through it and got so buzzed I had to go lie down.

Two Buck Chuck. I was no match for it. Two Buck Chuck kicked my ass.
