More issypert from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. This wine is like many of the Solminer whites. I'm always wanting a bit more intensity & impact. It may put on weight over the next year, but doubt it will ever be more that just a pleasant Gruner. Not in the same league as the Carlisle or most from Austria.

"Just pleasant" is tough when for 75% of that price you can get "much more than just pleasant" Gruner Veltliner from Austria.

Well, David...it's Calif. You have to pay thru the nose to get such rare wines!!
I would put that % at perhaps 50%!!

Used to be 50%, but prices are up.
