.I sample a bunch-o-wine (technological term for much more than the majority of people). So each week, I share some of my red wine evaluations (primarily coming from samples) and also tasting notes in a "mini-review" format. They are indicated to become unusual, fun, as well as (mostly) easily-digestible reviews of (typically) presently offered white wines (visit here for the skinny on just how to read all of them), thus you can get right relevant and make a decision if they're for you (or otherwise). Cheers!
