I like to keep a couple boxes of From the Tank around for emergency wine. The white is quite good and the red is above average.

The people dissing fine wine is strictly out of ignorance. Their experience/palette is limited so they post on what they know. If you eat at Arbys and Taco Bell...you sure as shit arent going to understand nuance and complexity....or grasp why some are food wines and others are made for drinking.
I've easily done over 50 wine tastings in the past...there is definitely a difference between average, consumer grade and bad-ass wine. If you drink only to get drunk...then fine wine isn't your tip. Much like drag racing and formula one are two different planets... Last edited by BlackOp; 01-28-2018 at 01:37 AM.. |

I used drag racing to illustrate drinking just to get drunk...trying to go as fast as possible in the shortest amount possible.

Drink what you enjoy, whether wine, beer, or whatever. Never understood why people try so hard to judge the personal tastes of others, when taste is specifically so personal.

Are they a holding company or a marketing company for wineries with their own wines and vineyards. I am guessing both but just guessing.
The history on their site is "Jacked" tell the SO!

Both. They own a ton of vineyards and their founder Jess Jackson was/is one of the biggest names in the Valley. They’ve got a good thing going.

I bought some box wine because of this thread last weekend. Bota Box Nighthawk. Just a blended red, usually what I'm after anyhow when I'm buying a bottle every now and again.
$19/box at Price Chopper and I really enjoy it. Made a Costco run yesterday and they've got it for $15/box so I grabbed another. This will be the way I buy wine moving forward. For somebody who doesn't want to drink swill but will never be a 'wine guy' and really get into the stuff I can't imagine a much better value than the ol' box. |

Looking to get into the box game to limit some of the bottles we are going through in a typical week. Will look into Bota next time we are out!
