If you drink a box of wine - Page 4

TheMercenary · 01-15-2009, 12:29 PM

Yea, we have moved to more of a wine thing ourselves. And we tend to stay around the $9 to $14 per bottle too. There are some really good wines out there in that range. Box wines have been reserved for an outdoor event with lots of people drinking. I can't imagine actually drinking a whole box by one person. Anyway, I agree with feet, the stuff that is suppose to cost more than $20 in the store begins to be lost by really good less costly stuff.

I apologize for dropping the c word and being over the top in general.

That's why you get my respect.

Ravenswood vintner's blend zinfandel is very good -- around $15. Big, somewhat jammy, but well-balanced with oak and acidity.

I've been happy lately with the wines from Yellow Tail (Australia), primarily the Cab/Merlot blend and the Merlot for about $7-8.00 a bottle. The whites not so much, I go more for a nice California Chardonnay. If I was really flush with cash, I'd go for some of the white Burgundies like Mersault (about $80-100 a bottle). Now THAT'S a fine bottle of wine...

Smoking Loon Wines, people. I don't know if they've crossed into the darkside of the box wine, but they are both good and cheap. And the label's cute. My favorite is the Merlot, but I've had several of their other varieties, which were quite yummy.

Three Blind Moose is another wine bought based on the label that turned out to be fantastic.

Yah I've gotten two different varieties of that one lately wolf..It's good. Of course it had a smoking loon on the label so why the hell not right?

Louis Jadot brands are great for red because you get the upper end taste without the price-tag. If you see this one pick it up! It goes with dinner depending on the kind. I tend to drink the pinot noir straight though.

It has cicero's seal of approval:

The label looks like:

You can pick it up at whole foods and most large liquor stores.

wolf · 01-15-2009, 02:34 PM

Sounds nice, but that Jadot stuff is over $30/bottle! (some over $100!!

)

classicman · 01-15-2009, 02:34 PM

DO NOT get me started

Cicero · 01-15-2009, 02:35 PM

Wolf...No no...not in the stores...

9.00-11.00....

That website is misleading, that's for the uber good stuff. It's in the same range as smoking loon..

Aliantha · 01-15-2009, 04:31 PM

I was thinking this morning that you might prefer Jiminy...like the cricket...

What do you think?

Anyway, you don't have to apologise. I already know what sort of person you are. I didn't expect anything else, and still don't. And besides that, you're not the only one who has delighted in calling me the C word around here. I have to admit though, that big line of nasty words was inventive, must have used up a few brain cells to come up with.

Don't drink to much wine though or you wont have any to spare for future brain farts.

If I drank an entire box of wine I'd probably barf. The only time I've had an involuntary bowel movement was when I was medicated, and had a slight change of medication, and had a seizure.

Scared the crap out of me. Or would have if I hadn't already . . . you know . . .
