I just moved into the state and that just ticks me off everytime I go to the store. So will TJ even sell wine? Will they have a seperate store for it. What is up with being able to drive to the bar and get drunk on Sunday and then drive home with your baby in the back. But you can't go to TJ's on Sunday get some cheap wine and food and then go home and enjoy it in the safety and comfort of your own home.

SUCK! I've heard that there may be some talk in the legislature about the ridiculous liquor laws here, but there's no telling how it will turn out (or how soon any changes might be made). in other states with liquor laws requiring alcohol sold seperately from food, they just don’t sell alcohol

Okay I'm a Pasadena, CA transplant and while home last week they told me it'd be three months, they were just sending their reps out here later in the week. And I highly doubt we'll get Two buck Chuck- in other states with liquor laws requiring alcohol sold seperately from food, they just don't sell alcohol. Thank god for TJ’s!

By the time you load it on a truck and ship it out to the northern midwest it becomes 3 or 5 buck chuck. The reason two buck chuck is two bucks in California is because the winery is not far away.

Although I have been in a TJ's once before. Nate, I thought of you and your dislike of Yellowtail the other day when I went into a liquor store where "4 Emus" (which I've never seen before) was prominently displayed.

That scares me. I work at World Market and our wine shops are just starting to get widely recognized. Besides, Two Buck Chuck isn't all that great. And it will be more than two bucks by the time it gets sent here, I can assure you. The big pull to that store seems to be the wine shop. That scares me.
