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

.I sample a bunch-o-wine (specialized phrase for more than most people). So each week, I discuss several of my white wine assessments (mainly coming from samples) and tasting notes in a "mini-review" style. They are actually indicated to be wacky, exciting, and (usually) easily-digestible customer reviews of (typically) presently available white wines (visit here for the skinny on just how to review them), so you can easily solve relevant and decide if they are actually for you (or not).
