Looks like another forthcoming - announcement on Monday 22nd.

I’m pretty sure this one is a white. But what type?
(My guess is that it is Korean Aligote)

Chinese Chardonnay …can’t see a subtle clue

The bottle shape is saying South American to me for some reason. So I’m going Chilean roussanne

Anyone recognise this logo on the bottle?

I doubt it, the glass in the background has a pale gold liquid, not a blue one.

And yet someone will probably say that it is too mainstream and common, and not in keeping with the Bin Series ethos (and that they had a better one, from the producer next door, at a tasting a few years ago) :wink:

Maybe it’s a fish? I sense a bottle from the Holy lands. Or perhaps Greece. Or Sardinia.

I have two in mind.

  1. Trebbiano from Uruguay
  2. Something from Southern Italy (with all their varieties it could be anything e.g. Bombino Bianco, Zibibbo, Pampanuto etc…

Basing this on the same reasoning as @DrDave i.e., bottle shape.

Vermentino…

Would be a buy for me if it was

Not been much hype around this one at all. I need to place an order so will hold off and see what it is.

I think someone at the Society may have inadvertently revealed the identity of the new Bin Series #14 on the Italian Walkaround Tasting programme @TeresaGirao…

Sounds delicious though!
