Saturday, May 31st, 2008Well it has been fun, but I’m starting to kind of burn out on doing website reviews. I think by now if I haven’t driven my point home I never will. With this round up I thought I’d highlight a few of the things I’m looking for in a site.

I found the Gispert tucked away in a corner of the bottom shelf at my local shop and since I was in the mood to try something mild I picked up five. That was a couple months ago, and while I haven’t picked up a box yet I pick up a few more on each trip.
