You can do both.<br /><br />I think you should read all the reviews from independent wine sites reviews before buying. It has won awards and blind tastings. <br /><br />The wine is exactly the same as in bottles. The only dif is the packaging, and if you check the site they explain the advantages in shelf life, less materials, etc.Chef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-6014513880409307212009-10-24T23:15:28.160-04:002009-10-24T23:15:28.160-04:00Chef, obviously you were invited to this rather wo...Chef, obviously you were invited to this rather wonderful dinner to write something nice about their products. So just between us - are you actually going to start buying their stuff for yourself, or would you rather stick with the bottled wines (even when no-one is looking)?<br /><br />My concern is, maybe their stuff isn't too bad but opening a box with 3 liters of wine is a huge commitment - and even if their prices are reasonable the stuff is not entirely cheap either, and you can't use it to impress your guests, etc.milkshakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08188961610554710616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-60117691407738292892009-10-24T17:08:47.194-04:002009-10-24T17:08:47.194-04:00Likewise!
