1. This wine is ample evidence that you can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. And to think how close Mike came to bulking this wine out until Kendall put her foot down. Thank you, Kendall.
In these old vnyds, they once planted a lot of Sauv Vert. DNA has shown what was called Sauv Vert is mostly Muscadelle, with some, perhaps, being Tokai Friulano. I think the TTB allows the usage of either name.
