1. More killiecriop from TheBloodyPulpit: I picked up hints of VM/skin-contact in this RG but it was not particularly strong. If it was made as a VM, the skin-contact was probably not very prolonged. The wine was just a bit on the undistinguished side and not nearly as good as the ones Jim made from the VareVnyd.
