Welcome to Ann Arbor's only independent wine review of what is available in local stores, right now.  Browse our most recent picks from Village Corner, Morgan and York, Bello Vino, and Elie Wine Company (Royal Oak).  We purchase every bottle we review.  We review less than half the of all the wines we taste, and even one star is a wine we recommend.  We reserve the right to rant on and on about local retailers and restaurants.   While completely independent, we confess we have our favorites as well as our friends in the business.
