Traderx, keep holding doors - the ones that make a fuss are probably shaming less chivalrous men! Every woman secretly loves it, no matter how much they fuss (unless you do the pervy smile and icky pelvic/boob/leg onceover, which I doubt).
I'm not saying $2 Chuck will win any awards, but for a $10-25 bottle of casual cocktail wine (only if it passes the parking lot test BTW) it certainly works.

Scooterbug is right, tx. Keep on being a southern gentleman. They're on the endangered species list. 
Two Buck Chuck sounds better. The first time I heard the expression, I thought it meant ground chuck.
For two bucks, it cannot be very good, right? I realize it is not Shafer Hillside Select but is it even drinkable? Or do they use the bottles as paperweights or objects d'art?
Yes, I was almost attacked in Boston for holding doors. I tried to explain that I was from the South and holding doors and such is in my DNA. It did not go over well. I don't want to talk about it. :shock:
The Boston lady who tried thugging you probably couldn't understand a word that came out of your mouth (and I bet you couldn't understand her accent either
).As for the Two Buck Chuck, which is in actuality Three Buck Chuck once it crosses the Mississippi, it's not bad! Some varieties are better, like the Merlot that I prefer over the Cab but it's not Boone's Farm, not by a long shot.
You've already guessed the fanatical following that TJ's and Basement have....the stuff of urban legend, although the Basement's heydey was really a few decades back. I don't think anyone's tried on a wedding gown in the aisles in a long time. ;-)
When my brother got beat up by that woman type, he proceeded to ditch his Southern accent. Still comes out with UM brella and IN surance.
Who is Chuck anyway? I thought his name was Joe!
The brand name of the wine is Charles Shaw. Here ya go, from the TJ website:
"If there?s been one constant in our wine selection lately, it?s got to be Charles Shaw. Lovingly nicknamed ?Two Buck Chuck? by a member of the wine press, these California wines have become something of a phenomenon in the wine world, and in our stores. Contrary to many an urban legend, these super-value wines began as the result of an oversupply of wine and a great relationship with a valued supplier. They?ve become the nation?s best-selling wines, not surprising when you consider the combination of low price ($1.99 - $3.49 per bottle, depending on the region) and great taste Charles Shaw wines offer. Depending on the season and the quality of wine available, our selection of Charles Shaw varietals will vary, but the quality never will."

She did look a little confused.
I did learn how to speak a little Bostonese however. A local taught me to say the following letters:
P S D S
Say those letters out loud. Know what they say?

piece of de a$$?
pass the a$$?
Uhh, that would be no.
When you say P S D S, you are saying "pierced ears" as Bostonians say it.
