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

.I sample a bunch-o-wine (technical phrase for much more than many people). So every week, I discuss several of my wine reviews (typically coming from samples) and also tasting details in a "mini-review" style. They are actually implied to be unusual, fun, as well as (mainly) easily-digestible customer reviews of (typically) currently available red wines (click here for the skinny on just how to read all of them), so you can solve relevant and make a decision if they are actually for you (or otherwise).
