More jickersplatz from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. I am particularly fond of all Ryan & Megan Glaab's Rymes. Particularly their whites. Their Fianos in the past have come from the Lago vnyd and have been a bit on the mild-mannered side. This is their first from the RanchoCoda vnyd & I was quite impressed. Much more aromatics.
They make two Vermintinos from FrankMahoney's LasBrisas vnyd. I typically like the "Hers" because of its more intense perfumed aromatics. The "His" is made in amphora & given a fair amount of skin contact and typically has a strong VM/skin-contact signature. But they seem to age wonderfully well and always mature into very lovely mature VM Vermentinos.
