Chuck the Chuck?!... & Giveaway :)

Yesterday we made a trip to our BRAND NEW 
Whole Foods MEGA-store for the first time!
In the wine section there was a HUGE display of a new wine variety 
THREE WISHES
which comes in Chardonnay, Cabernet & Merlot
The campaign slogan they are using is 
"CHUCK THE CHUCK" 
{referring to Trader Joe's Charles Shaw variety}
because it is selling for only $1.99 a bottle!

We decided to give the Chardonnay a try
and it is surprisingly tasty!
Very light, crisp and fruity
{close to a Pinot Grigio}

BUT...
I was a little disappointed 
that such a GIGANTIC supermarket 
would be targeting a small grocery store?!
{Do I sense a rivalry here?!} 

I am sure just based on the $1.99 price of 
THREE WISHES
people would still buy it!
Taste will determine whether they buy it again ;}

If I had to compare it to 
TWO BUCK CHUCK
I would say they were both worth the price,
not amazing, but not horrible!
You can't have super high expectations 
for a wine under $2! 
Right?!

So, on that note...
You are probably anxious to hear about the giveaway, huh?!!
Well, in the SPIRIT of the HOLIDAY
I have decided to give ONE lucky winner a
$10 GIFT CARD
{Hey, that's like 5 bottles of wine!!}
to either
WHOLE FOODS
or 
TRADER JOE's
your choice!
