i may as well get right to it, just so you see exactly where you've landed in the amazing world of wine. i have wine with dinner almost everyday, (my husband has introduced me to iced herbal tea with stevia...refreshing, so i've been drinking a lot of that also) anyway, no real person cracks open a $20 plus bottle of wine every night, at least no real people that we know. so one of my yummy alternatives is a product called "black box". this is a wine company that uses wine made from premium grapes, then pours four 750.ml bottles of it into a plastic container, cover it with a stylish black box and ta da...you have a big adult juice box filled with pretty decent wine. the german riesling being our favorite.
so you see why the creation of this blog was so necessary for my sanity. i need to connect with the real wine lovers, those of us who don't mind traveling off the well-beaten path for a sip, those of us with no shame, just looking to enjoy the vino without judgement. we've drawn our lines, we have our limits...but not many. this blog is for the brave hearts, people that concern themselves with grapes, not containers and corks.
don't be afraid to tilt the glass.

not for the average oenophile. we dare to drink. i'm proud to be a gluttonous, insatiable consumer. and i want to meet more of the same. the tattooed, pierced and courageous who crawl in at night, slip into something a bit kinky and pour white wine into a red wine glass....ahhhhh, the delicious, sinful thought of it all.

located at 8201 Germantown Ave. a sunny restaurant with a great signature chopped salad, friendly bartenders, a delicious outside patio and a nice place to take a break from a long summer walk. stop in. if you want sun, sit outside with a stella artois brew or if you feel like a friendly chat, sit at the bar, order the solaris signature chopped salad to make you feel a little better about the calories you're about to consume in liquid form. decent wine list, nice selection of tap beers, full range of cocktails. www.solarisgrille.com
Cheers

I enjoyed reading your wine blog and agree with you that alternate wine closures should not be a turnoff for wine lovers. I bet your wine in a box isn't oxidizing like the open bottle of Muller Thurgau in my fridge.

Hi Kathleen, thanks so much for the response. yes, I love all kinds of wines but as time moves on, we will find better and better wine in a box. and let's face it, this can be very convenient. Sometimes we have company and they are not wine enthusiasts or sometimes my cousin and I will create these impromptu dates on our backyard deck and it calls for nothing quite so special but something very drinkable and it does always taste the same, unlike bottled wine.
Look...it is not here to replace bottled wine, that's for sure, but it has its place.
Cheers,
L
