Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For October 14, 20132 min read

Posted on October 14, 2013 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!

      TDC – thanks. Yeah, I know we have a mutual love society for those guys. I'm interested in seeing what happens next with them now that they've handed over the winemaking reins (to a very talented lady). I really want to do some sort of feature on them, but want to wait and see if they keep up or even exceed the standard as the guard changes. Anyway, exciting times for those wines!
