A wee BP:
1. This arrived in my Prima IlConsorzio shipment ystrday, so thought I'd Pobega it. For some reason, Beckman had sorta fallen off my radar. I should revisit them.

Back in the day, Le Bec was my go to "Tuesday night" wine. Good to see Beckmen continuing this tradition of a solid (well, it really isn't solid) wine at a great price.
