I will fight a horde of hungry lions to find a great beer,
but will still drink mediocre beer if it’s all I can find... or afford. While drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon with a friend one day, he took a sip
and said, “PBR: there’s nothing wrong with it.” That’s how I feel about Black
Box Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 – it’s cheap, it’s red wine, and it’s easy to
find. As a bonus, it’s available as a boxed wine or as a “juice box.” The wine
box gives you 3 liters (4 bottles) of wine for $20-25 (averages out to $5-6 per
bottle) and stays fresh for a month after opening. And the juice box… that’s
just cool.
I feel the same way. A lot of people might think you were exaggerating about fighting a horde of hungry lions but I am on the same page for good craft beers as well. But, especially at a happy hour or not-so-craft beer friendly restaurant, I am fine with having cheap beer as well. There's nothing wrong with it. It just like having taco bell when you are in a hurry rather than going to an awesome Mexican restaurant.
ReplyDeleteIf wine didn't exist, I would be just as passionate about beer as I am wine. It's so good!
DeleteI totally agree-this is a good every day "won't go bad if we don't drink it today" wine, because the packaging keeps it all good. My DH and I usually have a glass of red a night, and this is our weekday wine. It's not the best, and certainly not the worst, cab we have ever had. The price is right too-I get it at my local Sam's Club for just under $15.00. Good deal.
