A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Another winner from DanPetroski. I've been finding my tastes are circling back towards Calif Chard after too many yrs of ABC. This is one of the better ones I've had recently. It reminded me some of the old StonyHill Chards, but less oak and not quite as rich, but the same sort of structure.
