A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. I was looking for a white for dinner, glanced at the back label and saw the Arneis on it, so grabbed this as my white. Much to my surprise, when I got it home, I saw it was red, not white.
This is quite an unusual red wine blend. RuthLewandowski is regarded as a natural winemaker. Yet this wine was perfectly clean and showed no natty character whatsoever, even on the next day.

Very interesting blend. What does 'Feints' refer to?

Feints is a fencing term for a fake attack designed to draw a response from your opponent.
Not sure of its relevance here, though.

I know the word in that context and am aware of your expertise in that sport. When I saw it in your title I figured it was you editorializing, then I saw it was in the name of the wine. Curious.
