More sisslewort from The BloodyPulpit:
1. The Idlewild Flora&Fauna (white & red) are two no-brainer purchases for me every year. Lovely/lovely wines at a great price. Sam is killing it these days. Can hardly wait for his Timorasso.

Sounds good. I have bought the red version every year since 2014, but rarely go for the white. Perhaps I should remedy that.

Well, David....since you like the Arneis & Cortese, I think you'd like this white blend.

There was a vintage several years ago that had some incredibly aromatic Muscat. I loved that edition. The next year the Muscat was less dominant, and I found the blend to be a little too bland and walked away from it. So it's been years - probably 6 or 7 since I last tried it.
