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!
- 14 William Hill Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley): Put this one into the "I want to love it NOW" category; and FTR, it wants to love you, too. $50 A- >>find this wine<<
- 15 William Hill Benchland Series Chardonnay (Napa Valley): Struts boldly into the room, all dolled up, dancing to the tune of "Brick House" $40 B+ >>find this wine<<

- 15 Domaine du Cros 2014 Lo Sang del Pais (Marcillac): The wily Fer Servidou gets a pretty sleek, glamorous make-over, without losing its rustic soul. $18 B >>find this wine<<

- 14 Domaine Jean-Claude Lapalu Brouilly La Croix des Rameaux (Beaujolais): There is nothing cross about the attitude of this energetic little beauty. $29 B+ >>find this wine<<

- NV Aecovi Alexandro Amontillado Sherry (Marco de Jerez): A guilty pleasure of nuttiness that will make you forget almost all of the thousand injuries of Fortunato. $16 B >>find this wine<<
- NV Barone Pizzini Animante Brut (Franciacorta): One thing's for sure, this one will animate your palate after some hearty risotto dinner action. $26 B+ >>find this wine<<
