Vay-Ner-Two-Buck-Chuck

In what's probably a classic Wine TV show, Gary reviews six Charles Shaw wines. The best one scores an 85 (the 2005 Shiraz), but the rest do horrible. The Bourgeloise (sp?) gets somewhere in the 60s or 50s, and the others range up to somewhere around 74. He liked the Sauvignon Blanc okay, but only gave it an 83/84 because it's a weak grape category. I was telling my friends here that someone needs to write a book about Two Buck Chuck, though. It, and Yellowtail, have brought a lot of people into wine, and there's got to be an amazing business story in there waiting to be told.
