Comments:
- No red made the top six.
- We've never had a non-alcoholic
"wine" do as well previously as the Sutter Home "Fre." Nice
for the Designated Driver.
- The first wine Jekel released caused a sensation. The year was 1978 and the label read Johannisberg Riesling! Looks like they've not lost their touch.
