Roland’s favorite wines of 2015
Next up are the favorite wines of Roland. Roland posts a particularly fun stream of pictures featuring the many wines he tastes throughout the year. You can be sure the classics will always be there, in my opinion, first from the Rhone then a mixture of Burgundy, Champagne, and Bordeaux. This love for French wines is reflected in his list. Enjoy!
