I will update this page with wines I am drinking from day to day. I will limit these to wines I don't drink regularly, so there will be gaps when I am drinking an old standard, or something I have already mentioned previously. Anything highly recommended (90 pts plus) is in bold. The top 4 new (to me) wines of the month will be listed at the top, along with my rating.
At the end of each month, I will post more detailed reviews of each wine in the top 4.
