A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. When I look at this label, for some reason Mao TseTung pops into my mind. I'm sure he'd approve of this wine for the Proletariat. My palate is, of course, way more sophisticated to drink a mere proletarian wine!!
This btl was given to me by KenZinns, who was a member of this Gang of Six, plus Three. Not quite sure who the other proletariats are. I believe this was made at Brian Harrington's wnry. Source is from David & Shiela Bush's vnyd in the FairPlay area. But a very pretty/unusual rendition of Mourv that avoids the oafish character that grape can sometimes show.
