More snigglefoose from TheBloodyPulpit:

  1. The Bucklin White was an interesting trip down memory lane. An old-timey Calif white w/ not a lot of effusive fruit. It reminded me quite a lot of the Gus Sebastiani GreyReisling (Trousseau Gris) or the Fred Weibel Green Hungarian. It’s not a profound white but rather rustic white.
    I expected the Siduri to be pretty much dead & gone. It was not. Showing some age & on the downside, but still a quite pleasurable mature PN. Even the next morning it was still hanging in there.
