Please boost: I'm looking for an amphora/qvevri-made skin-contact wine with notes of (1) flint or smoke, (2) earth and (3) rose petal or flowers. All three.
Preferably Greece, Lebanon or Georgia. All the better if the soil is volcanic. #orangewine

@sarahmayg @Spacedlaw Yes! I landed in Italy! Sicily specifically (for thematic reasons), but otherwise Lazio would have been wonderful...!
Sadly, the one I had my heart set on won't be available in the New York market until March/April, and I'm distraught.
Hahahahaha, know anyone flying in from Germany or Italy in the next few days? (j/k...mostly!)
