Decent box wine?

He can use my stiff leather boot as a couch protector, permanently.

I like how we all know he's a complete troll but are humoring him because it's moderately funny and we all like some good forum drama.

You are right. But I just can't get the image of him walking up to a camp & sitting his bare ass on their couch out of my head. I guess it’s kinda funny if it’s not your couch......Nah, it's still isn’t. What has happened to naked etiquette?

Call me old fashioned, but if someone walks into my private camp living area and sits down without asking they already have a few points against them, regardless of whether they're packing a poop crayon.

Got black box sav blanc. Will have to wait until playa to tast, but everything tastes better out there! Also one bottle of riesling for m&g. Leaving the reds at home....

Apokalyptika will create more reds all over the playa as we discuss the exploitation of couches and boxes!
Long live the proletariat!

All right.... I bought Bota Box Chardonnay at BevMo. A couple bucks under 20. One buck less than Black Box. So we can call both of these averaging 20 dollars for 3 Liters. That's 5 bucks for a regular bottle size, so that's cheap. (The $10 for 5 Liters are awful.)

This Bota Box Chardonnay is fuller-bodied ("thicker", to my mind) and a little bitter, compared with the Black Box Chardonnay. (Mind you, I'm no wine expert!) So I prefer the Black Box as a more refreshing drink for casual visitors to my camp. (Perhaps serious wine people would prefer the Bota as more interesting.)

Thanks for all the help, folks!

Let the fun begin.

the nice thing about boxed wine is that
when you're finished drinking it,
you have something to throw up in!

That just might apply to the 10-dollars-for-5-Liters products like Franzia.

Post burn report:

Serving beer and wine to bicycle repair customers went very well. If you came by and was not offered any -- well, we had to ration the supply.

A couple of ladies tried both chardonnays and the Black Box brand won.

I wandered into a backstreet bar one night being hosted by some friendly canadians. They offered me some boxed burgundy and remembering this thread gladly accepted, for science. It was actually quite good. I think it might have been franzia or something like that.

We served Bota Box Chardonnay, Pino Grigio, Zinfandel and Cabernet at our Toga Party on Thursday. People very much enjoyed. Amazingly most people went for the red instead of the chilled white. It was a little pricey at $18.99 for 3 liters versus like $10 for 5 liters of Franzia, but people really seemed to enjoy it (I know I did). I think the old vine Zin was my favorite, but most people wanted Cab (guess cause it was a Roman Toga party). Will have to do a Franzia taste test next time to see if it cuts the mustard.

Sounds like The Lost Penguin and yes we serve that brand of wine.

Yes, I think it was you!
