 "The Miracle of Two-Buck Chuck" by Marti Ronemus

Do you know about Trader Joe's "Two Buck Chuck," a wine that sells for less than bottled water? Is it safe to drink? Can it be used in auto carburetors? How can it possibly be sold at a profit?

The grapes are grown in a less-desirable area, and a less-expensive fermenting process is used, which explains the cost. As to the palatability... Wine "critics" have declared it undrinkable, but how bad can it be when over 800 MILLION bottles have been sold in the last decade!

It goes to show you don't have to be fancy to be effective! Does that apply to bidding? We think so!

 Your choice:
A: Pass: Ouch. We can't be in the fast lane with this one. Our Diamond honors quack and our Spade honors are IN FRONT OF THE Spade bidder. If East and West switched hands, you could reconsider.

 Your choice:
A: 4♥: Unlike the hast hand, our honors are all working. Our ♥Q is actually on overtime, and we don't have honors in the opponents' suits. Our values are well worth raising Pard to game.

And now it's time to make a tough hand. Our engine's all warmed up.
