A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Verdiso is an indigenous grape to the Veneto. No DNA studies, so no known relationship to other varieties. It is allowed to be blended up to 15% with Glera in Prosecco, of which Gregoletto is one of thos producers. No evidence I've seen that this a variety that should be planted all up&down the Coast of Calif. But maybe it should be & they could make a world-class Verdiso.

2. Winemaker'sFolly is a new line from Jake to celebrate their radition of always having a glass of some one-off wine at table when growing up. I gather it is a value line made from unnamed purchased grapes.
