So, like, what is this stuff, anyway?
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 with you via twitter (limited to 140 characters). They are meant to be quirky, fun, and easily-digestible reviews of currently available wines. Below is a wrap-up of those twitter wine reviews from the past week (click here for the skinny on how to read them), along with links to help you find these wines, so that you can try them for yourself. Cheers!
- 13 Casa Setaro Caprettone Spumante Metodo Classico (Campania): A toasty surprise, with baked apples that fortunately like to linger. $NA B+
- 14 Bokisch Vineyards Tempranillo (Lodi): CA doing its best Ribera del Duero impression, with spicy, sexy Spanish accent & everything. $23 B+
- 14 Nieto Senetiner Torrontes (Valle de Cafayate): True to the modern Torrontes gameplan, just make sure that you *really* dig flowers. $16 B
- 13 Nieto Senetiner Cabernet Sauvignon (Lujan de Cuyo): Spicy and toasty, and pretty much ready to rock some grilled meat. $17 B
- 15 Amalaya Malbec (Salta): The more you imbibe its sultriness, the less you’ll understand why it’s not priced ten dollars more. $16 B+
- 15 Reata Sonoma Coast Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast): Happily providing an extra creamy, floral bang for your hard-earned bucks. $25 B+

- 13 Tsililis Theopetra Estate Limniona-Syrah Rose (Meteora): Strawberries in military parade formation, who then put on a dance number. $NA B
- 13 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley): Just the right mix of spunk, California sunny disposition, and focused seriousness. $55 A-
- 15 Jordan Chardonnay (Russian River Valley): You’re gonna find yoruself having a very, very difficult time *not* liking this one. $35 B+
