More barnellskrick from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. The Veneto is one of my least interesting regions in Italy. It makes tons of very pedestrian wines, both white & red. So I cracked this wine w/ very low expectations. Whatta surprise this was. Not all that distinctive & not much terroir, but just a really lovely drinking white wine.
This producer makes mostly Bardolino. Don't know if I'm brave enough to try any of those or not, though.
I oftentimes find many of the KermitLynch selection wines a bit on the pricey side. But over the last few yrs, I've found Kermit's portfolio a very good place to go bottom feeding. This is one such discovery on my bottom feeding.
