Monday Mini Wine Reviews Round-Up For February 27, 20122 min read

Posted on February 27, 2012 by 1WineDude

in wine mini-reviews

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

  • 09 Francois Chidaine Les Lys Moelleux (Montlouis sur Loire): About as full of honeysuckle as U can get w/out actually being a flower. $75 A- >>find this wine>>
