So each week, I discuss some of my wine assessments (mostly coming from examples) as well as sampling notes in a "mini-review" layout. They are actually meant to be quirky, enjoyable, and (mainly) easily-digestible reviews of (typically) presently available glass of wines (visit here for the skinny on exactly how to review them), thus you may solve to the point and make a decision if they're for you (or otherwise).
