It is only sold at Trader Joe's so call up your local Trader Joe's and ask. (If you don't know if you have a Trader Joes or the number, go to google maps maps.google.com and click the find business tab. then you can enter Trader Joe in the business section and your city and state in the address section. It will then show you where in your city they are located and what the number is.)

The people at Trader Joe's will most likely know what you are talking about if you say "Two-Buck Chuck" but in case they don't the real name is Charles Shaw wine.

Google it!!!
It's exclusively sold at Trader Joe's. It's called Charles Shaw, but people call it 2 Buck Chuck. A Trader Joe's just opened in my city, and it's called 3 Buck Chuck. I think in some locations it's $2 and in others it's $3. The link below will tell you if there's a location near you, or if one will be opening soon. Oh and by the way, it's awesome wine.
Get it at Trader Joes! It is the only place. And the label will actually say Charles Shaw.
Charles Shaw is an American brand of "extreme value" wine produced in California.
These wines are currently Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and most recently Shiraz varietals and Valdigue in the style of Beaujolais nouveau, all from California vineyards. They are distributed exclusively by Trader Joe's grocery stores, and in California sell for $1.99. Because of this, the Charles Shaw wines are affectionately known as Two Buck Chuck.
Due to the three-tier system, in other states the price can go up to around $4. As such, the wine is often referred to as "Three Buck Chuck" or "Four Buck Chuck" relative to the price.
Charles Shaw is an example of the recent trend of economy-minded wine drinkers seeking the greatest value. In particular the brand stands out not only for the low cost, but also for the respectable packaging and semi-frequent high ratings at wine tasting events; at the 28th Annual International Eastern Wine Competition, for example, Shaw's 2002 Shiraz received the double gold medal, besting the roughly 2,300 other wines in the competition.

Check Trader Joes. That's the only place I've seen it. (In California)
