Platypus Platy Preserve

I'm bound and determined to take a bottle of wine when I go on a trip weekend after next. In the past I've gotten a 2-bottle size wine in a bag in a box from Target, removed the box, and taken the wine in a bag. I'd like to try and bring something a little nicer this time (the Target wine isn't bad, but not great), and I've got a Platypus PlatyPreserve on order. Has anyone else tried it, and if so, thoughts? I'll be posting mine after the trip. NOTE: The remainder of this post can be read by logging in. For free PBF membership click here

Asking what my favorite wine is is like asking what my favorite book is, there are too many answers. NOTE: The remainder of this post can be read by logging in. For free PBF membership click here
