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