This looks like a wine that was overpriced at release, and may not be a “bargain” at discount. I’m intrigued by Sicilian white wines, though, and the better ones are hard to come by. I trust Jon much more on white wines than reds.
I’ve never understood the appeal of an American made (managed?) Etna bianco. You say the better ones are hard to come by, but are they really? Lots of good options out there for less money than this price, let alone release price.

Today it is the Aeris Etna rosso Centanari. I don’t think I would ever buy it at the release price, but at half off it seems worth a try.
Yeah saw that. Sign of the times I guess. Probably worth a shot but for me I’d rather buy Etna from producers in Sicily for around that price.
The 2017 Grand Cru Ech mystery was a Bouchard. $250. WS Low is $320 before shipping.
Whoever wrote that the less they write the better the value is is for sure correct. That’s been my experience too.

Garagiste quoting Decanter scores after accurately criticizing them recently. Ridiculous.
Does anyone know what the highly talked up October 10 Brunello mystery was?
