Fell off chair laughing.  Our house is <ahem> different in regards to opened bottles.  ;)


Yeah yeah yeah, we are a bunch of lightweights around here. :)

I started buying Bota boxes of Redvolution after a Costco wine department employee, who used to own a wine store, pointed me in that direction.  He said it was a nice, reasonable red blend... and I agree.

We like Bota box. The cabernet sauvignon was way too thin for my tastes, and the 'redvolution' a bit too sweet- I found the old vine zinfandel to be the best red, which is interesting since I usually much prefer cab to zin.

Interesting!  I love zin.  I've never seen it in a box wine.  (I'm not counting white zin, which is an unnatural abomination.)  I will definitely look for it.

I knew I liked you =P

Let me know what you think! I think it's interesting so many people on here DO like the redvolution. Goes to show, no universal tastes!
