Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For September 14, 20152 min read

Posted on September 14, 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 Wakefield Promised Land Shiraz Cabernet (South Australia): The promise is less paradise, and more perky, tasty everyday sipping. $13 B >>find this wine<<
  • 11 Schramsberg Blanc de Noirs (North Coast): At once flamboyantly loud & yet tastefully poised about why it's being so talkative. $39 A- >>find this wine<<
  • NV Schramsberg Mirabelle Brut (California): For your pleasure, appetizers of apple slices & toasted almond bread are now being served $27 B+ >>find this wine<<
