Expert-Recommended Boxed Wines To Try When You Need To Please A Crowd

“Black Box Pinot Noir is fruity and well balanced, a good pinot noir choice for a boxed wine,” says Gomiero. “You can pair it easily with many foods thanks to its versatility. Ratatouille, bean dishes, pasta, and pizza with mushrooms are generally a very good fit.”

“If you’re a rosé fan, this blend of syrah, grenache, and cinsault will make you happy,” says Gomiero. “What makes rosé popular is that it’s refreshing like a light white but has extra fruitiness, aromas, and flavors from the red grapes. That’s exactly what you’re going to get from it: refreshing wine with citrus, peach, and red fruit flavors.”

“We picked this zinfandel as it’s a great match for everything that comes out of a BBQ,” continues Gomiero. “Its flavor ranges from red fruits to black fruit depending on its ripening. It has a full body, and is high alcohol with medium-high acidity and tannins.”

“Our house style is inspired by popular old world wines from the Loire Valley and Provence, with an approachable, fruit-forward profile balanced by bright acidity, making it the perfect wine for day-to-day drinking occasions,” Juliet founders Allison Luvera and Lauren De Niro Pipher tell TZR. (Editor’s note: It’s also a brand I personally love.)
