You and me both, Dale. That was my only bottle, opened on FL Jim's
enthusiastic recommendation. If you find more, drop me a line but I
expect that we'll both have to wait for the '05 version to arrive.

I doubt that the Banfi was a particularly inspired example, though you
may feel differently. I was a bit disappointed with the lack of
discernable Muscat character on either the nose or palate. I'll stick to
Prosecco, I think (though Jean dislikes it, so maybe not)
