The First "Weekend Wine Notes" of 2025

There's a lot to get to, mostly red.

So, here we are, the first month of a new year. Time to look at 12 wines that represent a variety of styles, grapes and winemaking sensibilities. Not to mention geographical diversity. Eight reds and four whites, deriving from California (4), Australia (4), France (1), Argentina (1), New York (1) and Italy (1).
