A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. SauvMusque: A particularly aromatic clone of SauvBlanc. It was found languishing on the list of FPS varieties by DougMeador back in the early '80's. He was unhappy w/ the herbal/vegetal character he was getting at his VentanaVnyd in ArroyoSecco, so thought he would give it a shot. It seems to be gaining popularity in Calif.

up until the last few vintages, Bedrock sourced their SB from Kick Ranch fruit..Wonder what prompted the change?
