The winery moved to Woodenville, WA and changed their name from Pomereli to St. Michael. One of their employees said the only thing that changed was the label and price. Same wine, but targeted to the newly rich unstead of the Alaska wino market.<br /><br />I drink nothing but box wine - can't tell any difference but,hey, what do you expect from a hick cowboy?Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-87696048130219442782011-01-25T09:39:42.514-08:002011-01-25T09:39:42.514-08:00Will do GB :-)Will do GB :-)Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-1877221262299855992011-01-25T06:22:34.803-08:002011-01-25T06:22:34.803-08:00If I wasn't clear, cooking with bagged wine is...If I wasn't clear, cooking with bagged wine is far more fun than cooking with turned bottled wine, because it's as it should be.

If I decide I'd like another bottle of "Strawberry Hill" I'm gonna enjoy my beverage in spite of him/her if necessary.<br /><br />The collapsing bag that "Wing and Whim" mentioned is the secret to these wines. The quality remains unchanged because as the bag collapses around the wine no O2 touches it to affect its chemistry.<br /><br />Navy, I have a bottle of Glenfiddich put away in a special place.

I've found a pinot noir I really like, but the bottle is only good for two days before it devolves into good for cooking. I like keeping a box of white in the fridge for cooking from all month long.On a Wing and a Whimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754595334684845895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-6255910960624080092011-01-24T08:46:37.424-08:002011-01-24T08:46:37.424-08:00Sideways is a great movie.

I had expected "Boone's Farm" but this stuff was really good. When I went to the State Controlled Liquor Store I looked for more and was surprised at the variety. Clerk said what formally was used for an end of aisle display box wine now takes up two rows. Quality and convenience. Good Stuff!ddfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302371912038013929noreply@blogger.com
