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 in a “mini-review” format.
They are meant to be quirky, fun, and (mostly) easily-digestible reviews of (mostly) currently available wines (click here for the skinny on how to read them), and are presented links to help you find them, so that you can try them out for yourself. Cheers!

- 2017 Niner Wine Estates Grenache Blanc Reserve (Paso Robles): Tropical, rich, long, and with an ample supply of the “WOW!” factor. $30 A-
- 2016 Newton Vineyard Unfiltered Chardonnay (Napa Valley): Not the brightest, but certainly among the downright yummiest. $55 A-
- 2016 Newton Vineyard Unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley): An unflinching gaze in a stare-down contest that says more in nuanced glances than words ever could. $59 A-
- 2014 Priest Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley): Sexy, silky, dark, and already wearing its advancing age better than most people predicted. $42 A-
