.I sample a bunch-o-wine (technical phrase for more than most people). So every week, I share several of my red wine evaluations (typically coming from samples) and also sampling notes in a "mini-review" layout. They are actually implied to become peculiar, exciting, and (mostly) easily-digestible assessments of (primarily) presently readily available red wines (go here for the skinny on how to read all of them), thus you can easily get right relevant and choose if they are actually for you (or otherwise). Cheers!
