Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For November 9, 20152 min read

Posted on November 9, 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!

  • 14 Willamette Valley Vineyards Pinot Gris (Willamette Valley): Conveniently, it's bringing the tropics to you for the chillier months. $16 B >>find this wine<<
  • 12 MIrror Oak Knoll Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley): Yes, it's a total show-off. Yes, it also has the stuffing to back it all up. $95 A >>find this wine<<
  • 12 Mirror Cimarossa Vineyard Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley): The mountain painted when in lush, spicy, full bloom. $95 A- >>find this wine<<
  • NV La Gioiosa Etamorosa Brut Prosecco (Treviso): It's a Chill or be Chilled kind of world, so chill this one well, be well, & chill. $10 B- >>find this wine<<
  • 11 Domaine de Mourchon Seguret Grande Reserve (Cotes du Rhone Villages): Bargain priced overachiever for iron-lovin' hedonists. $28 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 13 Weingut Dr. Heger Ihringer Winklerberg Grauburgunder (Baden): Lips will be smacked, thirsts quenched, & probably a bottle emptied. $35 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 13 Arabella Pink Panacea (Robertson): Managing to make Cab Sauv rose both pithy *and* fun garners them some serious bonus points. $NA B >>find this wine<<
  • 13 Vinakoper Malvazija (Slovenia): Flower Power, dancing an energetic jig with Tropical Fruit Power, & surprise guest Almond Power. $NA B >>find this wine<<
  • 13 Vina Belje 'Kvalitetno' Grasevina (Croatia): Apples, herbs, & wet stones; sounds like a picnic clarion call to me, how about you? $12 B >>find this wine<<
  • 14 Lopez Mercier Cal Y Canto Verdejo Dry White (Castilla): Life's a peach; it's also a bowl of nuts; & a lot of fun when drinking this $9 B- >>find this wine<<
