A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. These were three new natural wine that showed up at Kokomans this week, so I of course had to try them.
These were not particularly natty in character nor repulsive like some of those wines can be. They were just nor very attractive nor interesting wines. You can do far/far worse w/ natural wines.
