Wine Assessments: Mini Round-Up for August 19, 2024

.I sample a bunch-o-wine (technical condition for much more than the majority of people). So each week, I discuss several of my red wine customer reviews (usually from samples) and sampling details in a "mini-review" layout. They are actually meant to be quirky, enjoyable, and also (mainly) easily-digestible testimonials of (mostly) presently readily available wines (click here for the skinny on just how to review all of them), so you can easily solve to the point and make a decision if they're for you (or otherwise). Cheers!
