.I taste a bunch-o-wine (specialized term for much more than most people). So every week, I share a number of my red or white wine reviews (mostly coming from examples) and also tasting notes in a "mini-review" format. They are actually implied to be wacky, enjoyable, and (mainly) easily-digestible reviews of (primarily) currently accessible white wines (click here for the skinny on how to read all of them), therefore you can get right to the point and choose if they are actually for you (or not). Thanks!
