That being said, I did pick up a couple of bottles of real Jordan for $45, and a really nice Provenance Merlot for $26 (Provenance is a very good winery, been there a few times and their wines are above average).

I think the box-o-not-jordan will be a good future #3 bottle for parties, served from a decanter, where the un-suspecting consumer will be too lit up to tell that it's a "#3 bottle"
