A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Ran into this at RyanSciara's CellarRat in KansasCity. Not a label I recognized, though did, of course, recognize the name. Apparently a distant (in time) relative of AgostanHaraszthy and (apparently) trying to trade on the fame of that name. Not sure what BuenaVistaWnry has to say about it. Agoston's original wnry, of course. Not to compelled to try their Lodi or Sonoma Zins...based on this Amador version.
