🌲 Ever wondered what to do with all those old wooden wine boxes ?
Well other than drinking what's inside them (the best bit) here are some ideas you may love 😎
We recycle small boxes into flower 🌺 containers with a metal wine glass holder 🍷 that you can easily move around the garden 👍
Our latest creation is using long ones for small tables to put the snacks, decanter or chiller on 😁
We also use boxes to store garden materials as well as making shelves for towels in our gym 💪
What would you do ?

Words sometimes can't express - had an epic night with Steve Reynolds and Fig Tree restaurant Thur night. What an amazing guy. He started with a (small) cheers of tequila to the guys behind the scenes at his operation, admittedly to get his liquid courage (feel ya, Steve) - and then sampled the Chard, Estate Cab, Persistance (named after a Broadway actor whom after 40yrs waiting tables to do what he loved, finally won a Tony - love that sh1t), Italics (yes you know I adore), and finally the Stag's Leap Reserve (a little smoky vs fruity but the fav of others there). He educated the guests between each course on a different facet of the winemaking world (and yes I should have gone to Cal Poly or UC Davis, I missed this calling!!). The Persistence is the winner by far in my book - when we're talking value - for $49, where I was able to buy it - you just can't beat that. '11 is ok but '12 is very yummy (and yes that's the man himself) — 9 years ago
Thanks for the great dinner dad! This Burgundy had the catnip blend of sweet Pinot fruit, expensive cooperage and deep, cool earthiness that you can't get from anything else. Thanks @Charles Curtis for inspiring me to drink more of the "Original Grand Cru's of Burgundy" and thanks Silicon Babylon for letting me see both Tignanello and Insignia being drunk through straws at two different tables! — 10 years ago
I used to sell a lot of this waiting tables some years ago. Now I remember why. — 11 years ago

2015. Day my wife and I received the keys to our "forever Home". Smashed most of the bottle myself and pretty hammered right now. Was soft and easy, medium dry. Goes well with online shopping for dining tables. — 8 years ago

Practically the perfection of the Nebbiolo grape aged in oak barrels. Fantastic quality for price since produced by the "cantina sociale" of Gattinara (wonderful place to visit for the annual festa dell'uva di gattinara when a fantastic dinner is also served at candlelit tables in the wine cellar amongst the barrels).

Bras Hemmer nailed the description. I just drank the 2004 which is the current vintages. Love that it sat in barrels until recently. Nice tannins, but soft, not too elegant, but dusty smooth and lovely. Think maroon velvet lounge booths with dark tables and good jazz. — 11 years ago

Incredible value, serious Sangiovese, an everyday bottle for all tables..#keifeandco — 10 years ago
1993 vintage. From Jay. the cork on this bottle was pulled approximately two hours prior to being decanted. the wine was poured immediately post decanting.
the colour of the wine immediately grabs your attention. a glorious ruby hue worthy of a gemstone. perfect translucency and frankly a joy to observe. pinot juice as perfect as it can possibly look, majestically glinting in the tables candle light. after being allowed to gently open in the glass the wine displayed a degree of feminine ferality in a most pleasant manner. with time this was complemented by fraises sauvages, crushed black forest fruits and cuban tobacco wrapper. the feral element continued to present through a very slight earthiness and tones of wild mushrooms. this eventually gave way to crushed violets and roses which eventually poured over the glass and across the table. quite wonderful. the body was full with great complexity and finesse. this wine has tremendous power. its balance was beguiling and the combination of femininity on the nose with a gracefully powerful structure and depth of fruit truly provided the best of both worlds with an astounding finish. this is an epic wine which frankly ticks every box and is certainly within its drinking window. the acidity and abundant levels fruit still mean that this wine has many years ahead of it but frankly i'd be hard pressed to hold off. in short, this is a dessert island wine. 100/100
