Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For November 23, 20152 min read

Posted on November 23, 2015 by 1WineDude

in wine mini-reviews

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!

  • 13 Page Mill Winery Chandler Vineyard Chardonnay (Livermore Valley): Lovely lemon pie with peach-infused whipped cream to top it off. $20 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 13 Steven Kent Winery Merrillie Chardonnay (Livermore Valley): Queen's depth of character, complexity & elegance for a pauper's price $34 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 10 Darcie Kent Vineyards Madden Ranch Petite Sirah (Livermore Valley): As bold & as sizable as the vineyard's NFL legend namesake. $25 B+ >>find this wine<<
