A wee BloodyPulpit:

  1. I picked this up when I stopped in at the Palmina tasting room because I wanted to try it. I served it at dinner at the folks we were staying with in SantaBarbara (MollyHill’s/SequoiaGrove Mom&Dad). Because they’s never had a skin-contact white, I expected it to get a rather chilly reception. But Dave was actually quite taken by it’s exotic character and asked me to pick up 3 more btls, so he could share one w/ Molly.

Wanted to visit when I was in California in Nov. but was short on time. I have a couple of bottles of Dolcetto and Nebbiolo. Maybe taste them this month.
