Tasting Notes

Don’t just take my reviews for it! Drink with me and rate it for yourself. I have notes on my phone, the backs of old menus, jotted down in outdated planners…. you name it. I love to see how my tastes change from season to season and year to year.

From the archives:

This tastes like the way water from a garden hose smells…

This tastes like a melted popsicle in a soda machine…

This tastes like an alcoholic Christmas cookie…

All actual things I’ve said about wine. See? Wine doesn’t have to be intimidating or formal. Do it enough and you will eventually notice patterns and trends. Just think you too might one day know enough about wine to say, “This tastes like the color yellow…” I know, impressive isn’t it?
