Wine that doesnt BLEND in

In the following sections, we will discuss WINE! The wines that we have tried, the wines that we love, the wines that we don't love; all will be detailed here. While there are many different varieties of wine in the world, our personal favorites are reds, so those will be our focus. We will give you our honest, unprofessional opinions in a "He says, She says" format, then present you with our combined opinion in the form of "Corks". We understand that everyone has an opinion and we respect the opinions of others. We also know that everyone's palates are different. Whether you agree, disagree, or are completely indifferent, we hope this offers you some insight into the wine world that we love so much. We hope you find what you are looking for and are adventurous enough to try something new! Enjoy!
