Before I knew it, it was time to record my Christmas Special! I got caught up doing deep dives into the subject matter for my next set of episodes about New Zealand and realized I wasn’t going to get it all finished before Christmas. So here we are with a set of 3 wines. One from Argentina and 2 more from Bordeaux! First is the Non-Vintage Domaine Bousquet Sparkling Brut Traditional Organic Blanco. Second is the 2020 Château Olivier Bordeaux Blanc. And last is the 2020 Château Picque Caillou Rouge.
