Newb question about box wine As will be obvious shortly, I know nothing about wine. But I make a point of drinking 5 oz. of French Paradox red wine every day, just in case. Up to now I've been buying either Cabernet or Merlot in the 5-liter box from Almaden. (By the way, in searching the 7000 articles in this newsgroup on my server, not a single Subject contains the word "Almaden". Why is that?) Anyway, I've noticed that Almaden also sells another red wine in a box called Mountain Burgundy. On their website, Almaden is careful to make clear that this is not a varietal, but they give no hint as to what varieties it might include in the blend. Does anybody here know, or have an educated guess based on the taste? I buttume Pinot Noir would be way too much to hope for, but is it possible to say anything about it other than it's genuine red wine? Also, what might it taste like, compared to the two varietals I've been drinking? It occurs to me now that in this newsgroup *I* may be the foremost authority on Almaden box wines. But if there's anyone here who will admit to having drunk them, and can shed any light on the Burgundy, I would appreciate your opinions.
