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

.I taste a bunch-o-wine (technological condition for more than most people). So weekly, I share several of my red or white wine testimonials (typically from samples) and sampling notes in a "mini-review" style. They are meant to be peculiar, exciting, and (usually) easily-digestible assessments of (typically) currently available white wines (go here for the skinny on just how to read all of them), thus you can easily get right relevant as well as make a decision if they're for you (or not). Thanks!
