Any idea on the Alc on the D&G? Tangy for a Roussane makes me think its low like the Broc version.

$35 retail, Brian.
I think the tangyness comes more from the skin contact than low alcohol, though. Definitely some orange wine character, although I don't believe they are using clay yet!

I don't think Tracey & Jared are using full-out orange wine techniques...yet. I think they leave the Roussanne in skin-contact only partially thru the fermentation.
Not sure if they've started to clay amphorae yet, but I think they're interested.

Thomas Brocker, the winemaker for Slanted House, works in the same facility I do. A gentle man and a very skilled winemaker who "likes acid;" he said those very words to me yesterday when he tasted my 2013 SB from barrel.
BTW, many of his fruit sources this year have really good pedigree - I think 2013 may be a fine vintage for the label.
Best, Jim

Thanks Jim.
Please tell him he has a new fan! "Likes Acid" is music to my ears!
I have not idea why I have not tried any of YOUR wines, by the way. I saw one at Arlequin...I need to splurge!
