Winey Tasting Notes: The Lure of the Sale! Matthew Fritz Pinot Noir

As I have stated before, I do not normally buy $25 bottles of wine. I leave that to other people to do for me. I know I should probably bite the bullet and up my price range, but there are so many good wines out there that are under $15, that I just don’t see…
