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!

Really interesting Mr Joe. Please do check out the website winescapes.net or download the app and review wines. Tell your friends too. We want people like you – Not so serious wine drinkers, to review wines because people follow peer-to peer recommendations more than recommendations from hot-shot industry personnel. Also, do let us know what you think of the app ( its relatively new). Would love for influencers like you to give us feedback and tell your friends.
