Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For April 28, 2014

Posted on April 28, 2014 by 1WineDude

So, like, what is this stuff, anyway? I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people).

They are meant to be quirky, fun, and easily-digestible reviews of currently available…

Two Years Before The Masthead (Reflections On Becoming A Professional Wine Writer)

Posted on April 22, 2014August 24, 2015 by 1WineDude
