That would be one disappointed shopper.

Add this to a another reason to hate PA. Consumer Reports rated Trader Joe's house wine as one of the best bargain wines. Too bad you cannot buy it in PA.

There was a mass migration of people from West Virginia and other parts of the central Appalachians north to Akron several decades ago to work in the tire plants and such. I suppose it's not called "the capital of West Virginia" now as much as it used to be, but hey, if Pittsburgh can still wear "hell with the lid off" despite being coined in 1868...

As a member of the West By God Diaspora, I verify your statement as accurate.

The new capital of West Virginia is arguably Charlotte, NC.

Someone told me recently that Trader Joe's wine s*cks! So maybe you're not missing anything.

Have friends who adore "Two Buck Chuck". It's GHASTLY. Granted I'm not a wine drinker, but an occasional glass of something good is appreciated.
