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

.I sample a bunch-o-wine (technical phrase for greater than most people). So each week, I discuss some of my a glass of wine evaluations (mostly from samples) and tasting notes in a "mini-review" style. They are indicated to be quirky, fun, and (mainly) easily-digestible reviews of (typically) currently on call white wines (go here for the skinny on just how to review all of them), so you can get right relevant and determine if they're for you (or otherwise).
