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

.I sample a bunch-o-wine (technical condition for greater than the majority of people). So each week, I discuss several of my wine customer reviews (typically from samples) as well as sampling notes in a "mini-review" style. They are actually meant to become eccentric, exciting, and (mostly) easily-digestible reviews of (typically) presently readily available red wines (visit here for the skinny on exactly how to review them), so you can easily get right to the point and also choose if they are actually for you (or otherwise).
