Wine Assessments: Mini Round-Up for July 29, 2024

.I sample a bunch-o-wine (specialized phrase for more than most people). So every week, I share a few of my wine reviews (mostly from samples) and also tasting notes in a "mini-review" style. They are suggested to become quirky, exciting, and (mainly) easily-digestible reviews of (typically) presently available red wines (click on this link for the skinny on how to read them), therefore you can get right to the point and make a decision if they are actually for you (or not).
