More mikafurt from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. I had a suspicion the Scotty-Boy would not be a good natural wine. Advertised as a glou-glou wine for easy drinking. It was an example of a natural wine w/ a way too cutsey label. It fully delivered on my expectations...and then some. One of the worst natural wines I've had of late. Scotty needs to learn to make wine.
