Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For October 30, 20172 min read

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 Attune Pinot Noir (Carneros): Now this… this is just pure delight, & will get your lips smacking if you have any sense about you $48 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 15 Attune Station Ranch Chardonnay (Carneros): The fruitiness and brioche you’d expect, with the politeness that you might not. $38 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 13 Schramsberg Blanc de Noirs Brut (North Coast): The mildest hint of red cherry, with the not-so-mildest hint of pure awesomeness. $40 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 14 Claiborne & Churchill Claiborne Vineyard Riesling (Edna Valley): This one’s cooking with limes and gas -the petrol kind, of course $28 B+ >>find this wine<<

  • 13 Poderi Oddero Rocche di Castiglione (Barolo): A treatise on structure that won’t totally be decipherable for many more moons. $79 A >>find this wine<<
  • 16 Brancott Estate Letter Series B Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough): The perennial penchant for piquant passion fruit prevails. $23 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • NV McBride Sisters Brut Rose (Marlborough): Like your bubbles brighter than a room full of smiles? Then this is your jam, my friend. $25 B+ >>find this wine<<
