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!

Great website! I am wondering what form of preservation you use for the wine you have left in the bottle. I feel like there isn’t anything really great out there. I have tried most.

Thanks, Cindy. Well, if you’ve tried most, I might not be able to help you much! :)
Thinking back on all of the preservation methods and products that I’ve tried, I’d say that the most impressive potential bang for the buck in that department, in my view, was the Savino (see http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CEA2X1I/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00CEA2X1I&linkCode=as2&tag=1win-20&linkId=OQ6O743VFHLU25AG ). The glass version is well-constructed, looks good, and it works as well as any preservation method that I’ve tried (of all of such samples sent to me, that’s the one that I have continued to use). Hope this helps!
