Glad to hear the Woodenheads stood out for you. Love those wines and am a regular buyer. They don’t seem to get a lot of buzz.

+1 for the Saini as well, the Woodhead ones were great as well. I had a Lagrine from Imagery that was very good as well. DRNK’s Hallberg PN was nice as well. So so many wines there.
