.I taste a bunch-o-wine (specialized term for much more than lots of people). So every week, I share a few of my wine evaluations (usually from samples) and sampling details in a "mini-review" format. They are meant to be eccentric, enjoyable, and also (usually) easily-digestible customer reviews of (mainly) presently offered wines (visit here for the skinny on how to read all of them), therefore you can easily solve to the point and also determine if they are actually for you (or not). Cheers!
