So every week, I share a number of my wine evaluations (primarily from samples) and also sampling notes in a "mini-review" layout. They are meant to become unusual, fun, and also (typically) easily-digestible assessments of (usually) presently available red wines (click here for the skinny on how to review them), thus you can get right to the point and choose if they are actually for you (or not).
