Matter of taste 2019 walkabout, comparing wines

28/02/2019 by Ellen Wallace 2 Comments

This was a walkabout tasting of fine wines that let me compare different Swiss wineries’ Pinot Noirs. It was also an opportunity to make other types of comparisons among wines that have been given at least 90 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.
