Cardbeaudeaux Pinot Noir



2 favorites in one: Pinot Noir and Cardbourdeaux!! This is a nice Pinot and well matched with Friday night pizza. I've had the Naked Grape in bottles, so I was very happy to see they have a boxed option! The box is the equivalent on 4 bottles, so at $20 for the box, this is a great deal.


I know a lot of wine "experts" frown at wine in boxes, but I have a hard time blanketly saying no to wine without trying it. Regardless of packaging, good wine is good wine & bad wine is bad wine.

Black Box Sauvignon Blanc


This is a really nice Sauvignon Blanc. Crisp, a little peachy, clean & dry. It was fermented in steel, which is evident in the crispness.

I'm liking the Black Box Wines. Definitely affordable, considering you get the equivalent of 4 bottles in one. These wines are readily available in the grocery store -- and as there's not much selection in this small town, I do believe I'll just try them all!!
