A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. I hate wines like this. It was a lip-smacking good wine that keeps you coming back for anuther glass until...all of a sudden..the btl is drained. Hate that.

2. Aleks Simcic is the son of EdiSimcic, one of my most favorite of Slovene producers. The GoriskaBrda region in Slovenia is one of the most beautiful wine regions in the World. Drinking this PG transported me immediately back into the lovely village of VinskaKlet last Oct.
