Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For November 30, 20152 min read

Posted on November 30, 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!

  • 04 Claude Cazals Clos Cazals Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut (Champagne): Kind of like drinking a high-end lemon meringue pie. $85 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 10 Marques de Riscal Baron de Chirel Reserva (Rioja): You'll be smoking the funky stuff, but there's little doubt it's the good shizz. $76 A >>find this wine<<
