I love the Dr. L. You turned me on to this wine years ago at a tasting. Thanks John!
I like rose wines and the Lafond sounds perfect for this weather.
Becky and Alex thanks for the comments. I am going over to Haskell’s today to stock up on Dr. L and grab a few of the Lafond Roses as well.
Cheers,
John
Drinking the Lafond and watching the pga championship. Heaven.
