Ramspeck Releases

1993 PINOT NOIR A twelve hour shift isn't so bad. AAAAUGH! But the alarm is so early and sleeping on the couch for three hours is so... well, unnatural. If Ramspeck is going to exemplify the advanced Burgundian techniques of a winemaker like Guy Accad, then you've got to follow through on the details.
