Tried these two new wines last night:
1. Borgo SanDaniele Arbis Blanc IGT: Venezia Giulia Bianco (14%; www.BorgosAnDaniele.It; 40% SauvBlanc/20% Friulano/20% Chard/20% PinotBianco; UvaImports/Atlanta/GA) Cormons/Gorizia 2020: Med.gold color; rather fragrant ripe/melony/SB/slight herbal/musky bit floral/Friulano/carnations slight earthy some complex quite pretty nose; bit soft fairly rich/lush rather melony/ripe/SB bit floral/carnations slight citric bit complex flavor; very long soft/rich/lush finish that mirrors flavor; a rather pretty white that just seems a bit muddled & lacking in focus; speaks mostly of ripe Friuli SB. $25.00 (SFW&S)

More biddlespurt from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Both of these were new producers for me. I rather liked the Arbis Blanc for speaking mostly of ripe Friuli SB. Yet it had a bit muddled/unfocused character that I couldn't quite put my finger on.
