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

.I sample a bunch-o-wine (technological phrase for much more than many people). So each week, I share a number of my wine evaluations (typically from examples) and also sampling details in a "mini-review" style. They are indicated to become peculiar, exciting, and also (usually) easily-digestible customer reviews of (primarily) currently accessible wines (visit this site for the skinny on how to read all of them), therefore you can get right to the point and also decide if they're for you (or otherwise).
