That Fleurie is such a pretty wine. Why didn't I get more before CSW sold out?
As to the Brachetto, I think it can actually be a good simple wine in right situation (as dessert on a hot day on porch- some think it great with chocolate). But it's overpriced- I'd pay $10, not $20

You and me both, Dale. That was my only bottle, opened on FL Jim's enthusiastic recommendation. If you find more, drop me a line but I expect that we'll both have to wait for the '05 version to arrive.
I doubt that the Banfi was a particularly inspired example, though you may feel differently. I was a bit disappointed with the lack of discernable Muscat character on either the nose or palate. I'll stick to Prosecco, I think (though Jean dislikes it, so maybe not)
