I'd like to thank everyone who replied to my inquiry.
(I hope that my individual replies made it via email.)
My bottle hunting has already begun, and I hope to have the
first flight of six wines ready for a comparison test
next week. I am posting a summary of the responses
which reached me through email. When I have tasted
enough of the recommendations I may post the results

Duane Morse and William Thompson III already.
