Wine Assessments: Mini Round-Up for September 30, 2024

.I try a bunch-o-wine (specialized phrase for greater than most people). So every week, I share a number of my white wine testimonials (primarily coming from samples) as well as tasting keep in minds in a "mini-review" format. They are suggested to become unusual, enjoyable, and (mostly) easily-digestible customer reviews of (typically) presently accessible red wines (go here for the skinny on how to review all of them), thus you may get right to the point as well as make a decision if they are actually for you (or not).
