We drink wine from a box

Tonight’s tasting will put your former perceptions of box wine to shame. Join us tonight from 6 to 9pm to taste a white Burgundy and red Bordeaux. Don't forget to tap the bag. Kidding... these bags are stored inside trendy wooden boxes.

Aside from the aesthetic appeal--it's sure to start a convo at your next party, box wine really does make sense. It's economical, ecological, and it preserves. The bag holds three liters—the equivalent of four bottles of wine, at a much lower price. The wood is made of out of recycled wood. We hope you'll continue the cycle. Also, the wine stays fresh longer because it's a tighter seal--oxygen can't seep in and ruin the bold Bordeaux.

The white Burgundy “Bourgogne Blanc” by Château du Chatelard, “Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes” screams to be sipped in the summer—a crisp, detailed wine with lime, green plum and herbal notes and good length.

The red Bordeaux Côtes de Francs, Château Moulin de Rouquille, “Cuvée L’Esperance” will definitely extend well through the cool fall season. Tarry and rich with lots of fruit, it’s a full-bodied Côtes de Francs with chewy tannins and a medium finish.

Start the trend. Drink wine from a box.

Mambo Italiano, Samba De Janeiro, and Argentine Tango!

Nothing like wine or an authentic Caipirinha to put you in the dancing mood—especially on a steamy night like tonight. Enjoy the tail end of summer with these Italian and Argentine wines or a traditional Brazilian beverage.

Alberto Longo Negroamaro Rosé “Donnadele” 2008

A pale salmon color, the rosé smells rich and floral. 100% Negroamaro, it is fermented in stainless steel tanks after short contact with the must and skins. Try it with light fish--squeeze a little lemon on top. Pick up one of only 6,500 bottles made.

Terre Gaie Prosecco

Made by a family operation on a 50-acres estate located in northern Italy, this Prosecco is dry, crisp and fruity. Everything tastes better from small, family-run vineyards. Give it a try.

Baqueano Cabernet/Malbec 2008

A 60-40% Cab-Malbec blend from southern Argentina with flavors of cassis, blackberry, violets and tobacco. It's complex and sexy, like women ;-).

Try My Caipirinha

We're don't usually drink Caipirinhas from a bottle. We like the way the Barbossa staff grinds the lime with the sugar. That said, this Caipirinha changed the way we think about pre-made drinks. All natural ingredients: fresh limes, special Cachaça Guapiara, sugar cane and pure mineral water go into this bottle. Simple and sweet for a hot summer night.
