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

.I sample a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than many people). So each week, I discuss some of my wine assessments (usually coming from examples) and also sampling details in a "mini-review" layout. They are suggested to be unusual, fun, as well as (primarily) easily-digestible assessments of (mostly) presently on call red wines (go here for the skinny on just how to read them), therefore you can easily get right to the point and decide if they're for you (or not).
