Introduction

Tasted all of these out of an enomatic machine pours, with Erin. Tasted with Kevin Rankin, Chief Wine Officer at Paso Wine Centre - very nice and helpful.
Highly recommend stopping here in Paso, great small finds to try tastings of (48 on the machine), nice food, good bottle options and great staff.
