Winey Tasting Notes: Sipping Some Tuscan Bargains

I have freely admitted before that I am a bit, OK, woefully, lacking when it comes to my Italian wine tasting skills.

Winey Tasting Notes: In A Fog At Trader Joe’s – 2010 Villa Cerrina Chardonnay/Pinot Grigio

Winey Tasting Notes: Looking For Some Italian Sunshine with Vini Ciccariello’s Pinot Grigio del Vento
