A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. I saw this new Slovenian wine on the shelf and noted it was imported by CircoVino/Tuscon, who imports the terrific IngridGroiss wines. The wnry is run by ManfredTement and is located in the village of Ciringa just south of the border w/ the SudSteirmark. The wnry looks thoroughly modern and they own several vnyds acrosss the border in Austrian SudSteirmark. There is a restaurant located there as well. They make a fairly long tableau of Styrian wines that I would like to try more of. This is their entry-level SauvBlanc. Probably won't happen w/o a visit.
