A liter Capri Sun bag of chardonnay would fit perfectly on my IV drip, in case anyone is thinking of a hannukah gift.

There is nothing wrong with box wine. But who needs the box? They should sell individual-size wine in Capri Sun type bags.

Great article; I will definitely check out Food Matters. Those that thought the article was about wine in a box must have skipped their writing class the day the term "play on words" was covered.

I highly recommend any Food Matters at any time. Great food, nice people. Its a little loud inside ... no carpeting, open ceilings, etc. But that's really the only complaint.

My first reading made me think, "There's some outdoor wine bar in Alexandria called The Box?" WTF is up with Carlo Rossi putting their stuff in 5 liter boxes? I can get a 3 liter jug for $9.99, but the 5 liter box is $18? WTF? Definitely switching to cheladas now as my intoxicant of choice, what with the price of wood alcohol and Sterno going through the roof.
