The “B Notes” are so much fun that I am back with another entry and actually a two for one. I always have a folded scrap of paper in my pocket to take notes on and I am happy those scribbles have a place to live now.
If you missed the introduction of the new page check out the very first entry and the description by clicking on the dropdown under the “Tasting Notes” page above.
Now on to the first for today . . .
