Thanks to an Hawaiian restaurant with good taste in organically grown wines, I am happy to announce that the selection of US organically grown fine wines available in boxes has expanded to TWO.
Also available but only from the tasting room at the moment (a search for proper shipping containers is underway) is Frog's Leap's Flycatcher, a red blend from 2022 ($140 for 3L).
Last year Tablas Creek had an abundance of Grenache and made an estate Grenache it called Alouette. It is not yet known if that will be on offer this year. (Their Patelin boxed wines are not organically farmed but are grown by their neighbors who planted Tablas clones). Stay tuned for Alouette updates.
As you may or may not know I am a huge fan of boxed wine–85 percent carbon emissions! Why buy glass, and a container for four glasses, when all you want is a glass of deliciousness with your lunch...or on your afternoon break...or when you're done gardening for the day...etc etc.
Better choice, better for you and the earth.
Here is the article I wrote about boxed wines last year which made me a true believer. The biggest selling point of all is convenience, so going greener can be EASY.
