Taste Along with Adam the Wine Guy #5 - Bota Box

Decent wine in a box..who woulda thunk?..well, i think it started back with the Franzia's and their tremendous marketing of box wine to the general public. and what a job they did. i think i see it in every grocery store i walk into..so one day i get this package and its a big, and heavy, i may add, box, with a bunch of boxes of boxed wine inside..figured we should give it a whirl on the "Taste Along"..I think overall these packages are really great for an everyday type wine, haven't tasted anything high end in a box yet (with out the breathe-ability it would be an interesting experiment) but the package is certainly green. you can recycle the whole thing, and the box itself is even biodegradable..Some bonus' to wine in a box..once opened you can keep it for weeks, maybe even longer, because of the airtight and vacuum sealed bladder this juice doesn't see any air till it comes out of the handy spout. also, as you kids have found out, glass breaks! worst thing that could happen here is you could get a paper cut from the box..and if you live in a small space, this is a great way to jam a ton of wine into a small package..so thats my take for now, what do you think?

Taste Along with Adam the Wine Guy #2 - Santa Ema

..so a question i get all the time from people is something like "..whats a good cheap wine? or "if i dont want to spend a lot of money what wine should i buy?..". well, i think there is a ton of competition in the marketplace and this makes for really great pricing for the consumer..the choices are wide ranging, from grape varietal to region, where is a good place to get started?..i always say trust your service professional, the guy at the store, or your waitress is there to steer you in the right direction..and they can even help to keep you on budget as well...lately i think that some great values are coming out of spain, argentina and chile..when your at the bottle shop, check out one of these regions, grab a bottle, usually you can find something really good for around 15 bucks or so, so you dont have much to lose..buckle up, enjoy the adventure..

visiting dom. des karantes

so this is in the tasting room of domaine karantes in the south of france in the languedoc region, in the very little know appelation of karantes..right near the mediterranian..its situation is one of the most spectacular of any winery i have ever visited..you can see all the way from spain up the coast of france..there are even old german gun implacements from ww2..super friendly people there Nicolas the winemaker was a great guide..also, they accept vistors, so if your ever down there, or planning a trip they have great guest accomidations, really close to the sea, with neat little restaurants lining the beach this is a great place to spend some time..
