Wine Reviews: Mini Round-Up for August 12, 2024

.I sample a bunch-o-wine (technical phrase for more than lots of people). So every week, I share several of my red or white wine customer reviews (typically from samples) and tasting notes in a "mini-review" style. They are meant to become eccentric, fun, and (primarily) easily-digestible testimonials of (mainly) presently available wines (go here for the skinny on just how to read them), therefore you can get right to the point as well as determine if they are actually for you (or not).
