I know it's priced differently from state to state. I see it
for a $2.99 "all-in" (i.e., no additional tax) shelf price in
Portland (OR). Could be the $3 price in your location will go
up too. I use the stuff for marinades, stews, some braised
dishes and spaghetti sauce. These usually require 1 to 2 cups
and I'll drink the rest.

Maybe your price is going up too. I don't know.

They used to have it at the Stockton store, but haven't looked for it
lately, so don't know.

I don't think they'd have it on the shelves. Every TJ's I've been in
has cases of it stacked in a multi-height display with single bottles
on top of them. If you want to buy a case, you just put one in your
cart and they don't have to run to the back to get it for you.

My friend likes it a lot and I do believe she did buy it by the case, but
I'm not much of a wine drinker at all, and don't know if they still sell it
or not.

If you're in California, they do. You don't even cook with wine? I
buy Two Buck Chuck Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc for cooking
purposes. If you ever want to dip your toe into cooking with wine,
Lucky has 187 ml bottles of Woodbridge Cabernet Sauvignon at a good
price - I forget if the packs are 4 or 6 bottles. I don't like the
other brands I saw in those little bottles, but Woodbridge is good.

Trader Joe's? I thought you'd had in Austin for years...?

As unlikely as it sounds to a Californian, Trader Joe's isn't
"everywhere".

I know that, but I that part of their approach was to open them in
college towns and college cities, if you will. Austin certainly
qualifies in the latter category.

There are a lot of college towns to cover in Texas, gtr!

TJ's finally got to Albany NY last summer (July?) amid great fanfare.
I did a drive by in Sept and it was still too crowded for me. I know
3 people who have been in it. None will return.

It's on my list to go see 'someday'.

[and *No* 'chuck' at any price, here. No wine and groceries in the
same 'building'-- A local BJ's has a 'foyer' liquor store- completely
separate from the main store.]

Ensuring everybody, including non-evangelicals, can't drink on Jesus
Day seems more like NOT having your cake and ensuring others CAN'T eat
it either.
