"Juabren, visit the Wine Bank in San Diego.

"Hello from Eduardodelvino,
When did you taste Monte Xanic and where? I tried it in Baja in 2006 and loved Vina Kristal and Gran Ricardo. I even met Hans Backoff. Do you know where I can get this in the US?"

Monte Xanic's Vina Kristal was a miracle of a white wine when I tasted it in 2006. It is like pretty French Bordeaux. The label has changed but I hope the wine remains the same. Soft,...
