2012 FRANCOIS FRERES HUNGARY PRICES:
Our new barrel we have named ‘The Max’ after Francois Freres’s illustrious Max Gigandet. Since the wood comes from near the Austrian forest, we were going to call it the ‘ Arnold’ but he said Hasta la Vista, Baby and left town. We say Maximize your wine’s pleasure. Be sure to order ribbed, not hooped. Also available in thin-stave.
