A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Friulano: (Tokaji) Friulano (or Jakot) tends to be a pleasant/simple/quaffable white w/ no pretensions to greatness. This Friulano is not that. This is serious white wine and takes Friulano to a level of greatness I've never before seen in that grape.
Presumably the San Zuan is a single vnyd-designate wine. Organically farmed from 60 yr old vines. No information on the WebSite about this wine.
