I'll second those importers, Dale, although Louis-Dressner wines aren't
easy to find outside of NYC (the outspoken Joe D. would probably
excoriate me for saying that, though). I also like the wines imported by
Grape Expectations and North Berkeley Wines, but those may not be easy
to find outside of CA (although I do see N. Berkeley wines at Sam's).
