Thanks for the rec. <BR/><BR/>Hey David - I agree with you about Weygandt-Metzler. Consistently good stuff. I shop by back labels too.

Jurancon Sec will rarely set you back more than $15/bottle & offers great structure & mouthfeel for the price, not to mention those lip-smacking flavors & great acidity (read: awesome food wines). Moreover, Jurancon, as it's typically called, is a fabulous dessert wine & a great value. Hard to find these days...I know that Astor Wines typically carries several Jurancon Secs, as does Chambers St. Wines.<BR/><BR/>Happy hunting!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12840433543804906851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-63901804672109215222007-11-29T07:42:00.000-05:002007-11-29T07:42:00.000-05:00Yup, I am in NYC.
