We took our info. from the winery website, but it is out-of-date and still showing the 2007 - even though we definitely tasted the 2008. We have a request in for updated tech notes and will correct the post when they arrive. Really now, Dirt cheap? Compared to other Scholium Project wines maybe, but have we lost perspective here? It was $33 retail in NYC, and since we buy our own wines we always put what we paid. Thanks for the comment! Nate, you’re correct.

The 2008 is not Scholium's "first dabbling"; they released a 2007 Riquewihr as well. 2. While the 2007 was pressed on verdelho skins, the notes for the 2008 do not mention that this practice was employed (you may have more info on that, though). 3. The wine sold from the producer for $30, not $33. Dirt cheap. A few errata:
