More dibblekrunk from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Pd'A is a variety grown almost exclusively in the Loire around Vouvray/Anjou. Thought to have originated in the Vendee region of Southern France & brought up the Coast to the Loire. It is also knowd as Chenin Noir.
Matt's Pd'A is the only one made in Calif to my knowledge.
