Tank Garage Winery's Boombox Wine Gift Box: The Coolest Wine Gift of 2023
You know what's cooler than a wine gift this holiday season? A wine gift that comes in a boombox! That's right, Tank Garage Winery is now offering its delicious wines in a limited-edition boombox gift box that is sure to turn heads.
Like all good things, the boombox was born out of the 1970s. It quickly became a symbol of hip-hop culture and the rebellious spirit of the youth. Over time, boomboxes became more and more sophisticated, with features like equalizers, dual cassette decks, and tricked-out sound meters.
Our boombox gift box is modeled after the legendary Panasonic RX-5500, one of the most iconic boomboxes of the early 1980s. It features all of the classic elements, including a tape deck, speakers, and knobs. But the best part is, it's filled with delicious Tank Garage wines!
We offer a variety of curated gift options, so you can find the perfect one for your friends, family, or colleagues. Whether they're fans of red, white, or rosé, we have something for everyone.
Special Offer: $1 shipping on Boombox Gift Boxes with code: DOLLARGIFT at checkout through 11/24.

Final Harvest Round-Up
What a wild year! With 2023's long, cool spring, we picked our fruit 15 days later than last year on average, but when it came, it was magnificent. In total, this year we processed 124 tons of grapes across 9 different counties, and we snagged 22 different varietals until harvest officially came to a close on October 26th. Our cellar team is already working away at the cool shit that we're going to have coming out this coming year so keep your eyes peeled for all the new juice!
October 20th: Siletto Vineyard-Bound
The time finally arrived for us to travel down the coast towards Siletto Vineyard in Tres Pinos in San Benito County. Here we hauled 1.6 tons of Barbera and 2 tons of Négrette. Barbera is one of our favorites and will go into some more of our Cal-Ital hits like Checkered Past and Tutto Passa. The Négrette will be used to smooth out and perfect some of our other unique red blends this year!
October 21st: Headed back up North
One day later, we hopped skipped and jumped about 4 hours north for some cool, cool Cabernet Sauvignon from Vine View Ranch Vineyard in the Yorkville Highlands of Mendocino County. This will likely go into one of our sexy, deep, big, bold, Bordeaux-style wines, like this season’s Talk Dirty to Me.
October 26th: Our Final Haul!
On a bright sunny Thursday, our assistant winemaker, Matteo, made the journey to and back from Paso Robles with a truckload of Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Sirah from the Willow Creek AVA. This is a cool-weather climate compared with most AVAs in the Paso Robles region, bringing out nuanced and refined qualities in it’s fruit. We can’t wait to see what kind of rad stuff our team will play around with here.
