Looks like the long anticipated opening of the Trader Joe's Wine Shop is coming nigh! Joe captured the enreddening of the awning letters, which means 2-buck-chuck is just a couple of weeks away from the shakey grasp of Union Square bums. Okay, we admit it-- Charles Shaw wine is somewhat tasty, and surprisingly, it does appear to be made from grapes. [Related: on January 18th, the NYTimes reported that the wine shop and the main Trader Joe's next door will open in NYU's Palladium building "in about three months," but Curbed is saying it could be as soon as March 17th.]
