A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Ridgecrest: Given the ripeness of this GV, I was expecting a bit more intensity. Somewhat disappointing.

I keep trying domestic gruners; when from Austria, it's one of the most fascinating white grapes possible. But I have yet to find an American version that performs better than what you describe here, have you?

Yup, Jenise... the Carlisle is about the best. The Solminer pretty good as well.
