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

.I try a bunch-o-wine (technical phrase for more than the majority of people). So each week, I discuss a number of my red or white wine reviews (primarily coming from examples) and also tasting notes in a "mini-review" format. They are actually implied to become peculiar, enjoyable, and (mostly) easily-digestible evaluations of (mostly) currently readily available red wines (go here for the skinny on how to read them), therefore you may solve relevant and decide if they're for you (or otherwise).
