I have many fond memories of my college roommates and me on Thursday nights hitting up the liquor store for a box of wine. Don't judge...it was the only way to get the most bang for our buck and purse strings were tight back then. Obviously we have graduated not only college but on to a higher level of wine indulgence. Over the years since school we have enjoyed many a bottle of fine wine not only on our own but when we can with each other :)
In today's day and age of a heightened palate where food and drink has become trendy, stylish, fashionable and cutting edge boxed wines are no longer the shunned product it once was. Suddenly wines by the box are popping up all over, put out by many a wine producer and in most of my favorite little wine shops.
Therefore, I have decided to embark on a journey through the field of boxed wines. Is it just hype or is there really great merlots and cabernets out there that come in cardboard vs. glass? In an effort to not only educate myself but my friends and readers, I will be trying and reviewing these wines over the next couple of months. Dave has no idea that I'm doing this but I'll let him know over dinner next week...maybe I'll deliver a box to his doorstep and get him involved. Trust me, if he can drink it he will partake.
So stay tuned and maybe you'll be picking up your favorite box soon! Of course as you try or if you even have a favorite square shaped wine please share!
Also be on the lookout for my review of the most creative and delicious cocktails (and where to find them) in RI!
Cheers,
Trish
