Thinking outside of the box

So, you know about wine in the box, right? And you get your crackers from a box, right? Now, how about it if you could get both in the same box? WOW, Tom, this is the best thing since sliced bread!

Kellogg Co. is released a special wine/cracker box on July 25 that pairs a red blend of House Wine cabernet sauvignon and merlot with its addictive Cheez-its. I haven’t tasted the wine — and probably never will — but I suspect its quality is on the same level as Original Cheez-its. I mean, I can’t stop eating Cheez-its, but I wouldn’t serve them alongside a Bordeaux.

The wine serves 20 pours, which is quite generous. The package costs $25.

The sale begins at 5 p.m. on the House Wine website.
