Happened to be in the neighborhood, so dropped into TotalWines:

More kikysloter from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. I seldom find anything of interest in TotalWines. Most wines are WineryDirect thry SarantyImprts. I've had most luck w/ their dessert wines. So this was a new wine & a new label so thought I'd give it a shot. Hopes once again crushed on the SarantyImprts shoals. The wine was mostly overripe/late hrvst Semillon w/ neither botrytis nor Sauternes character. Nothing to recommend.
The Langhe attracted me because you seldom find Viognier in Piemonte. A pretty dull & boring wine. Again, the SarantyImprts kiss of death.
