On Apr 19

Yes, many of my friends do. They use special tools to remove labels and keep all in special ways with journals. Me? For daily wines, no. On special occation day or when I really want to keep the...

Austin Sung reviewed E. Guigal Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2001. (4/5)
On Apr 18

Yellow and brown tone of color is very thin around rim. Overall water color tone looks thick & strong. But thickness flowing down the glass is medium. Butter, oak, very light pleasing smoke,...

Austin Sung reviewed Fetzer Syrah Valley Oaks 2003. (3/5)
On Apr 18

Starting at $17.99 Snoothrank: 3/5
Austin Sung reviewed Tamari Malbec Reserva 2006. (3/5)
On Mar 8
