Boston Winexpo was a big success this particular season again,
and you've got a couple of winners from there.

First one's from Carol Shelton and her twenty twenty three
wild Thing Vanier for twenty four dollars. Carrol is world
renowned for her infidels. She's also recently built up a
portfolio of very good white wines, and this ninety two
point von is a perfect example. Medium plus acidity, round,
slightly viscous, got some boss pair and chalky minerality flavors
in there, along with some mango and white tea. Very

very tasty, and I'm also going to plan to show
this at a wine tasting class I'm going to do
for my daughter and her friends on different varietals.

at the Expo were blown away by his twenty twenty
two cort Ata Alta pino noir from Santa Luccia Highlands
