| - I love TJ's....great food, and a pretty decent bang for your buck, when you take into account the great quality of their products. They always are eager to hand out free samples, and by free samples, I mean GOOD free samples....not the "bagel bites" free samples that you get at Sam's Club. Last time we stopped in they were handing out an aged cheese that had been soaked in Syrah, as well as a sample of a good wine pairing to accompany the cheese. Needless to say, I walked out of the store with both a bottle of the wine and a wedge of the cheese.
Which is a great segway into their wine selection! I have never been very fond of the "Two Buck Chuck", but they have some other wines in the 5-7 price range that are simply great! I'm by no means a wine snob, but I was always wary of the bargain basement wine deals that have flooded the markets recently. TJ's has made me a believer in the philosophy that you don't have to drop $30 to get a decent bottle of vino.
One star removed for the parking lot in this place. Be sure to take your oldest car, because the parking spots are all made for compact vehicles, and every soccer mom and her Suburban are sure to be parked next to you, leaving you a couple of surprise door dings for when you return to your vehicle.
