Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For August 21, 2017

So, like, what is this stuff, anyway?
I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people). So each week, I share some of my wine reviews (mostly from samples) and tasting notes with you via twitter (limited to 140 characters). They are meant to be quirky, fun, and easily-digestible reviews of currently available wines. Below is a wrap-up of those twitter wine reviews from the past week (click here for the skinny on how to read them), along with links to help you find these wines, so that you can try them for yourself. Cheers!

• 16 Cascina Feliciana 'Felugan' Bianco Lugana (Lombardy): Stony in aroma, and stony in countenance; balance & spiciness wine the day. $NA B+ >>find this wine<<
• 13 G.D. Vajra Ravera (Barolo): Peppery, sinewy, plummy, herbal, and savory; a red that's not at all f*cking around in any way. $69 A- >>find this wine<<
• 13 G.D. Vajra Albe (Barolo): Stark in structure, dark in fruit, and lifted in just about every other possible way that it could be. $37 A- >>find this wine<<
