Wine Assessments: Mini Round-Up for July 29, 2024

.I try a bunch-o-wine (specialized phrase for greater than most people). So weekly, I share several of my red or white wine evaluations (mainly from examples) and sampling notes in a "mini-review" format. They are actually implied to be quirky, fun, and (usually) easily-digestible evaluations of (mostly) currently readily available red or white wines (visit here for the skinny on exactly how to read them), thus you can get right to the point and also choose if they are actually for you (or otherwise). Thanks!
