I believe this is actually Jan D'Amore not Dressner. They also do this really interesting Aleatico vinified as a white wine. The Grechetto Rosso is very good also. Keeping it REAL in Lazio! Link: http://www.jandamorewines.com/occhipinti.html

The white from Grosbot-Barbara is only about 20% Tressallier. The rest is Chardonnay but you definitely notice the Tressallier.

Sounds groovy. I'll have to track some down. I've been digging on the SW lately. I just had a couple of wines last week from another wierdo apellation (Not SW Though) Saint-Pourçain from Centre-Loire that you'd probably like. Both wines from Grosbot-Barbara. The 2009 White was a Chardonnay and...

I've only had the Verdier-logel. The 2009 Gourmet is tasting great. Who brings in the Bonnefoy?

Bang of the buck...I'd go with the Chateau de Pellehaut Reserve Armagnac from Charles Neal. Can find it online for around $40-45/bt. I second the recommendation for the Brana but I don't think that is currently being imported into the US by anyone and it would be a lot more expensive.

I agree but it kind of has that Orange wine quality to it...maybe I'm thinking of it because it's actually kind of Orange.

How about the Movia Puro Rose?
