"frankly, the $10-and-under price range may represent the cheapest wines, but i feel the best values are in the $10-to-$20 range, where you can find sensational wines made by small producers using traditional techniques. these sorts of wines are much harder to find at $10 and under." we've been rocking boxed wine (!!) at the house for a year or so now and i don't mind it at all. it's nothing i'd drag out for a diner party or anything, but for day-to-day drinking, the doodlemath shows the pluses heavily outweighing the minuses.

Ed Kohler thought:
I've been rocking the black box for about a week after reading Kirk's review on AllFourSeasons.
Tried the Chardonnay so far. That worked. any other recs from their line?
dave thought:
we've gone thru a couple boxes of the cab and the regular merlot, but i'd say we most frequently buy the sonoma county merlot. it's a couple bucks more, but for me it's worth it over the other two.
i first heard about bbx in this splendid table interview. it has some other recommendations, too, if you're interested.

"day-to-day drinking" indeed. no wonder you slur your e-mails.
