At higher ripeness it often disappears, so Smaragd wines generally show less of that character.

The closest was a Santa Barbara County wine. I think when they buy closeouts, they tend to distribute them outside the normal realm, so as not to damage the brand's price point. Naturally, I did see the Churn, as well as one just called "Butter". Sigh.

So sad...that is really pretty country from the photographs she has sent from road trips across the border.

Drinks like what you normally have to pay $20 and up for. I bought a case today.
