More cicklefurt from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. These two wines were gifted me by a friend, LynneJohnson. I got her sucked into buying the Siduri wines early on and when she saw these two AdamLee wines, she wanted to try them. This Babs Wnry is a cooperative effort between Adam and vineyrd owner John Wagner. Probably made at the Miller's (BienNacido) CentralCoast Wine Coop in SantaMaria. These are to represent a value-line of PN. Thought they were sound/solid Pinots in the style of the old Siduris. Have no clue who Babs is.
