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

.I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical condition for more than the majority of people). So every week, I discuss several of my white wine testimonials (mostly from examples) and also sampling notes in a "mini-review" format. They are meant to be quirky, fun, as well as (mostly) easily-digestible evaluations of (mainly) currently accessible red or white wines (visit this site for the skinny on how to review them), thus you can easily solve relevant as well as make a decision if they are actually for you (or otherwise).
