I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people ). So each week, I share some of my wine reviews (mostly from samples) and tasting notes in a “mini-review” format. They are meant to be quirky, fun, and (mostly) easily-digestible reviews of (mostly) currently available wines (click here for the skinny on how to read them ), so you can get right to the point and decide if they’re for you (or not). Cheers!
