A Few of our Favorite Things...

One of our favorite Boxed Wine designs came from the storied Sonoma Valley of California. Upon its introduction, the golden box certainly was a milestone for the packaging and sale of fine wines in a box. It's one of the props, or things, if you will, we like to carry with us to parties around Manhattan this time of year, as the holidays fast approach, serving friends, new and old, and all who approach us by the glass. The golden box puts on in mind of the finest Swiss Chocolate, or perhaps a tombstone fit for a king.

In point of fact, Pacific Southwest Container in Modesto, California won an award for printing this most distingushed of boxed wine designs on the market. Further investigation will reveal that:

"Tincknell & Tincknell, Wine Sales and Marketing Consultants, of Healdsburg, California, and Bauermeister Design of Sonoma, California, teamed together to create the packaging for a new, upscale, super-premium, three-liter boxed wine, the Blackburn Fine Wine Cache from Sonoma Hill Winery in Graton, California.

For our part, the golden boxed wine offers us a chance to show off our uncommon taste and eye for the finer things in life, which, after all, is what holidays are all about.
