.I taste a bunch-o-wine (specialized term for more than most individuals). So weekly, I discuss several of my red wine assessments (mostly from examples) as well as tasting details in a "mini-review" style. They are meant to become quirky, enjoyable, and also (mostly) easily-digestible testimonials of (usually) presently offered white wines (visit here for the skinny on how to review them), so you can easily get right relevant and also decide if they're for you (or otherwise). Thanks!
