A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Ryme is Ryan & Megan Glaab. Ryan is winemaker at WineGap. They make two Vermentinos. "Hers" is made in a brighter/zippier style w/ conventional SS fermentation to capture the brightness of Vermentino. "His" is made w/ skin contact and quite different in style.
LasBrisas is FrankMahoney's other vnyd in the Carneros. It is probably the coldest vnyd for Vermentino in the World.
