Tried this from our recent Harrington shipment:
1. Harrington Falanghina CalleriVnyd/SanBenitoCnty (13.0%) 2018: Med.light gold color; rather stony/mineral/chalky/perfumed talc some floral/carnations/Falang slight steely/metallic slight rustic/SItaly very interesting nose; quite tart/tangy/steely/metallic rather stony/chalky/perfumed talc light floral/carnations/dandelions/Falang slight phenolic/library paste bit earthy/rustic flavor; very long tart/tangy/steely some earthy/rustic/SItalian stony/perfumed talc/chalky light floral finish; shows much of the rustic/stony character of Falang from Campania w/ not a lot of Calif forward fruit; a very interesting white that needs food. $15.00

A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Falanghina is a grape variety grown mostly in Campania north of Naples. Very little planted in Calif or elsewhere. There are actually two distinctly diffeent Falanghina varieties, as described by Eric:
Asimov/Falanghina
Bryan Harrington is shutting up shop at HarringtonWines and closing out his inventory at $15/btl. This is so sad has it's been a great run of some very distinctive and great wines. We ordered some 8 cs and are going back for more. Great wines at stupid/silly prices.
