More sittlelift from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. I recently praised the recent MonteRustico Blanca & Rosso as great values at $16.00. This Barbera is one notch above in quality at a stupid/silly price.
I think Vajra has been really on a roll of late & making some of their best wines ever. I need to go back & revisit some of their Barolos.
