I was hoping for quality and instead found unbelievable things happening. The 2006 Pinoit Noir from Elk Cove Oregon was oxidized yet the presenters kept bumbling nonsense about Pinoit and Oregon climate. I want to move out of PA.

That's oh so convenient for the customer, right?<BR/><BR/>We'll have to figure out a way to get you some Scholium Project.
