High ratings in Wine Spectator (94!), Cellartracker, and PAWineTalk, a Garagiste selection, and prices ranging from $40 to $50 elsewhere, somehow the PLCB has this on sale for $19.99.
It lived up to the hype and didn't disappoint. We agree with others, this is a bright wine, lots of acidity, some citrus--grapefruit or starfruit, clean and crisp. Acidity and minerality are the stars.
Not much in the Philly area, but there are 80 bottles in Newtown.
