Yeah, sort of. I don't drink much white wine and there are hundreds of

Wither Hills sits on supermarket middle shelf ~$20-$25 so one notch up
from swill? :-)

'shrooms swimming in butter
1996 Leoville Barton medium red, tending to black, not bricked.
Lovely aroma filling the room on opening and decant. Smooth on palate
balanced acidity and strong finish. The 12.5% alc welcome and refreshing
