More kiplesquirt from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Saw this on the shelf at ArroyoVino this weekend. It was a new producer for me, so thought I give it a shot. ZevRovine is one of the big importers of natural wine and has a very interesting portfolio. For natural wines, their wines are a bit more clean than most. I did not detect any natty/unclean character whatsoever.
