2001 Hugues Beaulieu Picpoul de Pinet

[zenda2]

Have y'all seen that this producer also sells picpoul as a premium bag-in-a-box offering?

I haven't seen the Hugues bottles locally, but I can find the box of La Petite Frog Picpoul. $34 or so per box equals $8.50 per 750ml so the discounted bottles @ $7.99 you're getting are a better buy.
No idea if there's a big quality/taste difference in the juice between the two, but you might want to leave glassware behind sometime and still have some 'lip stinger'. I'm happy to see some premium juice showing up in this 'cask' packaging. Nice to have choices.
