.I sample a bunch-o-wine (specialized term for more than lots of people). So every week, I share several of my red wine reviews (mostly from samples) and tasting notes in a "mini-review" layout. They are suggested to become unusual, exciting, as well as (mainly) easily-digestible testimonials of (typically) currently accessible red or white wines (go here for the skinny on exactly how to review them), therefore you can get right to the point and also decide if they're for you (or not). Cheers!
