This Belle Terre Vineyard is special, but it normally sells for $28 to $30--a bit high for my pocket book. I got my stash from a local grocery store that closed it out for $13 a bottle--presumably because it's a 2003 rather than a 2007.<br /><br />If you like the Luzon Verde, you might want to try a Torontes from Argentina. It's a very pretty, fruity and aromatic white similar to Viognier.Fred McTaggarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01568104809300139407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604297838201539175.post-50374696810863967772009-05-23T01:09:52.567-04:002009-05-23T01:09:52.567-04:00Do you remember the cost of this?
