Since I'm back in schol and on schoolboy's budget, I reluctantly switched to box wine on a good friend's (and wine purveyor's) rec.

I've gone through a few boxes of the Bota Malbec. I can say this - I don't hate it. When I get it on sale for ~$15/box, it's something I can afford and lasts me weeks at a glass or two a night, if that. They typically don't say where the grapes are from, but I'm pretty sure it's Cali.

I plan to try a few others they make.
