Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For October 9, 2017

So, like, what’s this stuff, anyway?

Published at Mon, 09 Oct 2017 12:29:25 +0000

I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for over most people). So each week, I discuss some of my wine reviews (largely from samples) and tasting notes with you via twitter (limited to 140 characters). They are intended to be fun, quirky, and easily-digestible reviews of wines that were currently available. Below is a wrap-up of those twitter wine reviews from the past week (click here for the skinny on the best way best to read them), together with links that will help you locate these wines, so that you can try them on your own. Cheers!
