Weekly Twitter Wine Mini Reviews Round-Up For April 30, 2011

Posted on April 30, 2011 by 1WineDude

07 Signorello Padrone (Napa Valley): Enormous & generous in its black & blue fruits, mocha, spices, & levels of sheer booziness. $125 B+ # NV Pol Roger Brut Reserve "White Foil" (Champagne): Sure it’s the real deal, but it might be just a tad *too* much of the real deal. $47 B+ # 06 Twisted…

Here Comes The Judge… (or “I Corrupt The 2011 Georges Duboeuf Wine Book of the Year Award”)
