Black Box Wines

A couple weekends ago, we got together with some friends for a BBQ at the park. While it’s currently crazy-hot for SF standards this week, the day we chose for a BBQ was pretty overcast, and a tad misty (although that could have been remedied by going to Dolores Park instead of Alamo Square, but that’s a different story full of heated arguments over wine). We made the most of it anyways, and warmed up with some Merlot from Black Box Wines.

Black Box kindly sent me a sampling of their varietals—Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Moscato—and I brought the Merlot along for the picnic in the park. Not only was it super convenient (4 bottles of wine in one box? Lasts up to 4 weeks after you open it and store in the fridge??), it was tasty! Love. Their wines are high quality and award-winning, with 40 Gold Medals and 27 “Best Buys” from Wine Enthusiast. Not too shabby.

I also tried the Moscato—it’s like an adult juicebox—and it was delicious. Next up, I’ll be bringing the Sauvignon Blanc to Hog Island for a day of oyster shucking and grilling. White wine + oysters = I’m a happy lady.
