Great company. Love their Red Zin too....

Outside of Rosenbloom, I think Kenwood makes the best affordable Red Zin on the market

I've had other Rodney Strong reds that I've really liked. Have to give the Zin a shot.

Have tried Rosenbloom? Their known specifically for their Zin. They have 18 of them in fact.

Rosenblum is another of my favorite makers of my favorite wine, Zin. My favorite of their many appellations
are either the Paso Robbins or the Sonoma. They occasionally release bottles from a San Francisco appellation that's also an robust wine with lots of oak and subtle fruits.

Cheaper method of storage and more environmentally friendly than bottles.

I'm curious how they're more environmentally friendly than bottles? Isn't boxed wine in a plastic bladder? The glass bottles can be easily recycled, not necessarily the plastic bladder though...

Brian, you make an excellent point. It's all about how you define "friendly". Many of these claims look good on the surface, but when measured by a different metric (Energy to produce, recycleability, reusability, residual elements), we start to find out you robbed Peter to pay Paul.
