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

.I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people). So weekly, I discuss several of my white wine testimonials (mainly from samples) as well as tasting details in a "mini-review" style. They are actually indicated to become eccentric, fun, and also (usually) easily-digestible customer reviews of (mostly) currently readily available red or white wines (click here for the skinny on just how to read all of them), so you can easily solve relevant as well as choose if they're for you (or not). Thanks!
