Think INSIDE the Box!
Gomer's Midtown is always on the lookout for great
new wines & spirits, and sometimes they come in
unexpected packages. Literally.
Over the past year, we've found a surprising amount of
good wine being packaged in boxes and 'tetra packs' Try
to get the image of Franzia out of your mind: these new
wines are, in many cases, better than what others are
putting in glass bottles.
In addition to enjoying the wines, you also get added benefits:
convenience, certainly, but when you buy these wines, you're also
'going green.' No glass bottles to be thrown away (unfortunately,
most glass bottles are not recycled), and significantly lighter
weight packaging that gets shipped all over the world. That means
much less fuel needs to be used for shipping!
Here, then, are a few of our favorites:
Y+B (short for Yellow + Blue=Green)
This is a great lineup of Certified Organic wines! This is not
bulk juice, either: these wines hail from actual wineries in Spain,
Argentina and Chile.
Y+B Torrontes, 1 liter tetra pack Gomer's Green Tag Price: $8.98!
Y+B Rose, 1 liter tetra pack Gomer's Green Tag Price: $8.98!
Y+B Malbec, 1 liter tetra pack Gomer's Green Tag Price: $8.98!
2009 Silver Birch Sauvignon Blanc
Silver Birch Sauvignon Blanc is from the famous cool climate vineyards
of the renowned Marlborough winegrowing region. Marlborough is located
at the northern tip of the southern island of New Zealand. Being on the
coast of such a narrow island, Marlborough is consistently exposed to
cool maritime weather, which creates the extended ripening period and
racy acidity of one of the most admired Sauvignon Blanc flavor pro files
in the world. Native New Zealander and artisan winemaker, Drew Ellis has
extensive relationships with some of the best vineyards throughout
Marlborough, “Our goal is to grow the right grapes that allow us to
craft the quintessential New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc year after year.”
3 liter box Gomer's Green Tag Price: $15.48!
2009 Big House Red or White
The Big House wines used to reside under Randall Graham’s Bonny Doon label.
A number of years ago they were sold off and now Big House is its own label
with a portfolio unto itself.
The 2009 Big House White was produced from fruit sourced at different
vineyard sites throughout California. This wine is a blend of Malvasia
Bianca (56%), Muscat Canelli (22%), Viognier (18%) and Rousanne (4%).
This wine underwent temperature controlled fermentation prior to bottling.
The 2009 Big House Red was also produced from fruit sourced throughout
California. This offering is a blend of Petite Sirah (27%), Syrah (14.5%),
Montepulciano (8.6%), Barbera (8.2%), Nero d’Avola (6.4%), Tempranillo
(6.1%) and a host of others in smaller and smaller quantities. This wine
underwent temperature controlled fermentation. Some lots underwent
malolactic fermentation and barrel aging in primarily neutral oak.
2009 Big House Red or White, 3 liter $17.49
2008 BOHO Old vines Zinfandel
Long hot days balanced by the cool San Francisco bay fog each night
create the optimal environment to grow Zinfandel. Being from Old Vines,
the yield from each harvest is naturally limited, which translates into
intense fruit flavors. Combining cool fermentation and American oak barrel
aging techniques creates a versatile wine that delivers plum jam flavors,
with spice and dry herb notes from the American oak, and food-friendly
alcohol levels that deliver a firm but not over-powering finish.
BOHO Old Vines Zinfandel, 3 liter Gomer's Greet Tag Price: $14.98!
