Sip- Brumont in a Bottle or Box?

Brumont in a bottle- $15

I promise I don't make these suggestions based on wines that are difficult to pronounce, but here's another one where you need to put your French accent on.  Brumont Gros Mansang-Sauvignon Blanc from Cote do Gascogne in Southwest France.  This zippy little number runs about $15 and is a total crowd pleaser.  Possessing slightly more personality that your average Sauvignon Blanc, the addition of the lesser known grape Gros Mansang brings a bit of weight, depth of character, and texture to the party. Light golden in color, the Brumont has a particular lemon zestiness that mingles so nicely with notes of peach and honey. We're talking some serious wine yin and yang here with the grapefruit-like acidity and the subtle sweetness.  
It's an ideal aperitif but matches beautifully with grilled chicken, fish, or vegetables that are sometimes fussy to pair with wine such as zucchini, peppers, asparagus, or even portobello mushrooms. 
And here's the best of all- it also comes in a box!!  Yes, I said a box.  It's perfectly acceptable these days as more and more reputable producers are thinking outside the box (sorry, I couldn't resist) making it a no brainer for picnics, the boat, or backyard bashes.  
Now that is something my crabby recycling man can appreciate.
