.I taste a bunch-o-wine (specialized term for much more than most individuals). So each week, I share several of my red wine assessments (typically from examples) and also tasting notes in a "mini-review" style. They are implied to be wacky, exciting, and also (mainly) easily-digestible reviews of (typically) currently on call red wines (go here for the skinny on how to review them), so you can get right to the point and determine if they are actually for you (or otherwise). Thanks!
