From The Tank Rouge (Les Vignerons d'Estezargues Cotes du Rhone) reviews

"A new wave of premium-quality boxed wines are earning praise from oenophiles, who also love the cool, eco-friendly packaging and long shelf life. This deep, dark red is produced by a cooperative of family-owned French vineyards. I'd be very happy to serve this with grilled meats and burgers at my barbeque this summer."

August 2009 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine", 4 Great Box Wines" by Tyler Colman

"From The Tank, a series of wines from the importer Jenny & Francois, are delicious pours for everyday consumption."

February 24, 2010 The New York Times' Diner's Journal, "The Argument for Boxed Wine" by Eric Asimov

"Delicious from beginning to end, it has dark cherry notes that make it particularly tasty with meat hot off the grill."

Real Simple.com, "The Best Boxed Wines"

"Of the boxed vinos I've tasted, I like the reds best. My top pick is the 2007 From The Tank Cotes du Rhone ($36) introduced last fall. A spicy, mouth-filling blend of grenache, syrah and carignan, it's made from organically grown grapes at a small co-op in France's Rhone Valley."

April 27, 2009 Bloomberg.com, "Box Wines Provide Big Slurps"

"If you need a reason to get over your anti-boxed-wine bias, here it is: a round, fruity, earthy Cotes du Rhone from a mini-cooperative known for practicing sustainable agriculture."

Domaine Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone Reserve reviews

"Juicy and friendly, with flavors of cherry compote and blackberry preserves offset nicely by violet and black tea notes. 88 pts, BEST VALUES”

May 2011  Wine Spectator

"The 2010 Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone Reserve (70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Cinsault) displays loads of ripe flavors. It is very concentrated for a Cotes du Rhone, and is actually an amazing wine. Classic garrigue, black cherry liqueur, lavender, licorice and spice box are all present in this full-bodied, intense, and rich Cotes du Rhone that sells for a song. 91 points"

Maipe Malbec reviews

GOLD MEDAL

2011 Dallas Morning News and TexSom Wine Competition (2010 vintage)

“Noted Italian Winemaker Alberto Antonini acts as consultant for this estate in Mendoza, helping make velvety reds like this one”

February 2009 issue of Food & Wine, “Argentina’s best reds for $10 to $20” (2008 vintage)

"Dry and structured, with hints of clay, fig, and strawberry, this Argentinian Malbec is a little spicy. It has leathery tannins and some lavender and mint notes -- try it with lamb chops or dry-aged steak; it should cut through the richness perfectly."

March 2010, Seriouseats.com, "Wine for $9: The Best Boxed Reds"

“Exhibiting surprising complexity for its price category” and “90 pts”

La Petite Frog Picpoul de Pinet reviews

SILVER MEDAL

2011 Dallas Morning News and TexSom Wine Competition (2009 vintage)

"The bag-in-box format is gaining increasing acceptance as an economical and flavorful way to sell and serve fine wines. This dry white wine from the underrated Picpoul variety is a clean, crisp, racy, fruity young wine with hints of minerals and herbs. It certainly ranks among the best whites available in a box. It's more expensive than some competitors, but the quality is superior.

Wurtz Dry Riesling reviews

"Where most 'value' wines are attractively labeled ways to discard of winemaker's unwanted leftovers, this is the real thing; authentic German Riesling bursting with fresh green apple, a hint of honey and a flinty, mineral finish."

Boxed Wine general press reviews

“Boxed wines have really changed, there’s some terrific wines out there”

Ray Isle, Executive Wine Editor of Food & Wine magazine, in an interview on CNN, August 30, 2010

 “… the concept is gaining popularity among even the toughest wine gatekeepers, even the Italian Agriculture Ministry is now allowing wines to be sold in boxes …”

Sam Champion, ABC’s Good Morning America, October 14, 2010

“While we enjoy the ritual of the corkscrew well enough, offer us something better and we’ll get over its loss pretty quickly. Like wine in a box.”

David Wondrich, Esquire.com, February 19, 2009

“The wine was so good, and I loved the packaging. It was great fun to have the box sitting in my fridge, and to simply pull the spigot whenever I wanted a glass. My attitude may have been childish, but isn’t every kid’s fantasy to have a favorite beverage on tap like that? And with bag-in-a-box technology, which keeps out air, the wine stayed fresh for weeks.”
