Let it not be said that I do not hear the cries of my public.
Here you will find Rook's Wine Reviews organized by type of wine; so if you are looking for a specific style of wine, you may find your search easier. Note: This page is likely to be updated less frequently than the master Rook's Wine Reviews, so you may also want to check there. Apologies if some of these wine types have only one example; my hope is that all these categories get filled out as I drink much more wine. See Rook's Wine Reviews for information on the annotations.
