.I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than many people). So each week, I discuss a few of my red or white wine assessments (mainly from examples) and sampling notes in a "mini-review" layout. They are actually implied to become unusual, enjoyable, and also (typically) easily-digestible evaluations of (usually) currently available red wines (go here for the skinny on how to read them), so you can get right relevant and also decide if they are actually for you (or not). Thanks!
