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!

  • 12 Chilcas Las Almas (Colchagua Valley): Tobacco, tea, flowers, all presented in the dusky atmosphere of a smokey jazz club. $45 A-
  • 11 Chilcas Red One (Maule Valley): Starts silky, gets minty, finishes leathery, and entertains throughout the entire process. $30 B+
  • 14 Chilcas Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc (Maule Valley): For those who like their black cherries to be teeth-sticking chewy. $16 B
