CHÂTEAU COUCHEROY BLANC 2008
I stopped by the iYellow Bordeaux after work party at Crush wine bar. This was my second one. I really like the way these events have been laid out. By having them early after work it made it easy to … Continue reading

CHÂTEAU FERRAN BLANC 2007
This was the only white from the iYellow Bordeaux after work party. This wine is a Sauv blanc. As usual the French do a great job of controlling the laws but a terrible job of labeling wines that the average … Continue reading

CHÃTEAU LARROQUE 2006
When I see an AOC Bordeaux below $20 with a good rating I run out and grab it. Generally they disappear quickly. This wine is dark in color with lots of black fruits on the nose but a little on … Continue reading

CHÂTEAU SAINT-NICOLAS 2006
This wine caught my attention as a Bordeaux under $20 with a good write up. The prices on Bordeaux’s are really continuing to creep up there. The wine is quite dark in color with a note of oak and black … Continue reading

Decided to pull a Bordeaux for dinner tonight, nothing very expensive but on the other hand something I figured would be ready. This offering came from an Yvon Mau wooden box set a few holiday seasons back that the LCBO … Continue reading

2005 was a great year in Bordeaux so when I see ones that are under $20 I give them a whirl. The wine is dark in color as one would expect. According to the write up this is 100% Merlot. … Continue reading

2005 Lussac-Saint-Émilion La Combe Rouge
So we decided to continue to delve into the wines brought back from France a few years ago with this inexpensive red. Lussac-Saint-Émilion is part of the Bordeaux region and a sub appellation of the Saint-Émilion. Most of the producers … Continue reading
2004 Château de Seguin (Bordeaux-Supérieur) Part 2
Last night we had no idea what to drink, so we decided to open this wine we picked up in Paris a few years back. We bought this on a whim to fill up the bags coming home with some … Continue reading
CHÂTEAU LA GORCE 2005
Like Mr CWG I too prefer Bordeaux over Burgundy. I just find them more complex and rewarding. I must admit to more recently exploring Bordeaux’s. This example is lovely especially for the price. It’s a bit harsh and bitter out … Continue reading

2002 Château d’Argadens (Bordeaux-Supérieur)
Well it has been a long while since a review and without a doubt this is a good place to start. Bordeaux’s can often times be overstated and over appreciated, largely due to the huge price that many collectors pay … Continue reading

2004 Chateau Larcis Jaumat (Saint-Emilion Grand Cru)
Tonight I felt like stepping back into the lovely world of Bordeauxs, and in this case the Saint-Emilion region of Bordeaux. St Emilion, despite it’s newer classification system is actually the oldest region in Bordeaux. The vineyards are in the … Continue reading

2004 Chateau de Seguin (Bordeaux-Supérieur)
