.I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical phrase for much more than most people). So every week, I share some of my red or white wine testimonials (usually from examples) and also sampling notes in a "mini-review" format. They are meant to become eccentric, enjoyable, as well as (usually) easily-digestible reviews of (usually) currently offered glass of wines (visit this site for the skinny on just how to read all of them), therefore you can get right to the point as well as make a decision if they're for you (or otherwise). Cheers!
