Reasonably Priced New Arrivals
People found value and lots of flavor in three of the wines. They liked the roundness of and piquancy of the dry 2019 Bourillon d'Orleans Vouvray, the smooth intriguingly herbal flavor of the 2021 Askos Masseria Li Veli Susumaniello and the depth and power of the 2020 Flauzieres Gigondas Four Danuga. Of course their reasonable prices didn’t hurt either.
