Wow! That Vermentino sounds just like an Albarino, Tom. I had this the other night, and enjoyed it, too. Actually better the second night; it benefits from some air!

Yeah...it was a Vermentino....but it had all the classic aromas and character of an Albarino to me, more than any Vermentino I've had.

Dang....you're right, Steve. Albarino. That's why it was so danged good. I had a Tablas Vermentino also out to try,
but musta had a brain fart when I wrote down my TN.
Be assured....it has nothing to do with old age, Steve.
