A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Picpoul means "lip stinger" because of the high acidity it usually displays in Picpoul de Pinet. This is far better than any of the Picpoul de Pinet I've had unless you value typicity over tasty/good-drinking wine.
This was the TCV August Special and reflects my 30% VINsider discount. The TCV monthly specials oftentimes are usually great deals.
