Hi SeigenJ and welcome to the board. And I respond....Aren't we all! You have several major wine dealers in your area. 20/20 Belaire wines, and in Costa Mesa Hi Time Cellars, and probably the most exotic of all, the world famous Wine Expo on Santa Monica Blvd in the town of the same. WW

Blush...blush....gee, Verne!

Is this "rare and exotic" enough for you:

Winery of the Week:
The return of Fratelli Agnes, Rovascala, O.P.
The family operating this winery has been doing so for so many generations (800 years in this case) that making delicious traditional wines with utmost respect for nature is encoded in their very DNA. And, like their next door neighbors at Martilde, they have VERY cool labels, are extremely food friendly and are incredible bargains when compared with comparable wines from other zonas:

F. Agnes Oltrepò Pavese Bonarda Possessione del Console 2000, Lombardia
Wow! Intense, nearly purple color, rich but zesty mouthfeel, ridiculously concentrated notes of every red and black fruit from currants through plums and a distinct hint of mulberry on the palate, this is serious. Made from an old clone called Pignolo for its tiny, pine cone shaped clusters but no relation to the Friulian wine of the same name. The handsome art label depicting either a hunter or a farmer walking two beautiful retrievers is no extra charge, a great gift for dog lovers.

Fratelli Agnes Oltrepò Pavese Bonarda Millennium 1998, Lombardia
The deeper, more structured big brother of the Possessione, with coffee and licorice notes on top of even denser fruit. The label relates the story of how an ancestral Count Anselmo of Rovescala paid a debt in 1192 (!) with 600 amphorae of his best wine. That was one lucky creditor!

Fratelli Agnes Oltrepò Pavese Rosso Poculum 1999, Lombardia
Made from a selection of not just Bonarda but also old Barbera and Pinot vines on the property, this is a shade rounder than the others and has been mellowed by a brief sojourn in barriques. VERY limited.

I could go on for days but I have to do a tasting for forty people in two hours...
