.I sample a bunch-o-wine (technological condition for greater than most people). So each week, I share several of my white wine evaluations (mainly coming from samples) and sampling details in a "mini-review" format. They are meant to become quirky, enjoyable, and also (primarily) easily-digestible evaluations of (typically) presently accessible white wines (visit here for the skinny on just how to review them), thus you may get right to the point and choose if they're for you (or not). Cheers!
