Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For November 27, 2017

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!

15 Pacherhof Sylvaner Vigne Vecchie Alte Reben (Alto Adige Valle Isarco): Sometimes, when you add spices to tropical fruit, a little bit of magic actually occurs. $25 B+ >>find this wine<<

NV Ruggeri Argeo Prosecco Brut (Prosecco): Apples, with hints of freshness, crispness, and more than a hint of bubbly aggression. $17 B >>find this wine<<
