And, no, Ron. You won't find it in a box.
Despite my reputation, deservedly I admit, as a connoisseur of rotgut, I, as does Mr. Aredub, actually enjoy a decent Spatlase from anywhere in Deutchland, as I spent a few years over there back when I still had a viable liver. However, when decanting over the rocks as I'm doing while I convey this message, I find a good November or December Almaden of pink hue, does the job. Please note the emergence, from Australia, of "good" wines being offered in the boxed format, as finally the world is catching on to the freshness offered by the plastic bag, verses the skunkiness resulting from a foul cork.
