.I taste a bunch-o-wine (technological phrase for much more than the majority of people). So each week, I share some of my red wine evaluations (primarily from samples) as well as sampling notes in a "mini-review" format. They are actually meant to become wacky, enjoyable, as well as (typically) easily-digestible testimonials of (mostly) currently accessible red wines (visit here for the skinny on exactly how to read them), therefore you can easily solve to the point as well as choose if they're for you (or not). Cheers!
