Your title and the pic imply different coloured varieties. Is it a New World Rose made by mixing? |

'Whiter than white' could refer to innocence, virginal. The base of the vine above resembles a pair of legs being crossed, there is a leaf positioned where the crown jewels are located. Eve? A religious connection perhaps? |

This one is a little unfair, but it's such a nice pic. Not a s/mkt offering, but visited by Oz & James. |

Well done. I believe that the label is used for a variety of wines. Can never forget JMs face when he tried the rocky-soil and gravelly-soil pair. He also said that it was the best wine he had ever tasted. |

Cheers Ba, it is worth learning from a label quiz, and since I knew nothing - I must have missed that Oz & James May episode ? Here is a quick article. The wines of John and Lorraine Alban from Edna valley Alban Vineyards, 8575 Orcutt Road, Arroyo Grande, CA 93420 USA On wine searcher I did find some viog starting at £15.00 (USD $ conversion) on sale in the States. |

Thought you would like the Rhone Ranger, just up the road from Davy Crockett. I think that this was the featured wine... http://www.englewoodwinemerchants.com/p ... ductID=696 |
