A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. I picked this up when I stopped in at the Palmina tasting room because I wanted to try it. I served it at dinner at the folks we were staying with in SantaBarbara (MollyHill's/SequoiaGrove Mom&Dad). Because they's never had a skin-contact white, I expected it to get a rather chilly reception. But Dave was actually quite taken by it's exotic character and asked me to pick up 3 more btls, so he could share one w/ Molly.
