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

.I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical condition for greater than most people). So each week, I share a few of my white wine assessments (mainly from examples) and sampling keep in minds in a "mini-review" layout. They are indicated to be quirky, exciting, and (mostly) easily-digestible evaluations of (mainly) currently accessible red or white wines (visit this site for the skinny on exactly how to read all of them), so you can easily get right to the point and decide if they are actually for you (or otherwise).
