Bordeaux from the left bank

from Sip & Grow The Podcast · host Nicole Di Pasquale

Right and left bank…What is that? I simplify what this means when it comes down to wines from Bordeaux.  I watched a show on Apple TV called Drops of God that really opened my eyes to how the French wine world (along with talking to wine experts in the real world too lol). Overall, I will say that the regions in France are prime for making excellent wines.   The French are very particular with how they regulate their wines and take winemaking very seriously. I was fortunate to attend the Union Grand Cru wine event in Miami, FL where I tasted the best of the best from Bordeaux from both the right and left bank.   Today's wine was one of the bottles I tasted that day. Listen to this episode now to learn more about what the "right bank" and "left bank" means when it comes to Bordeaux and taste this wonderful Bordeaux blend with me as I express to you my overall thoughts on French wines.     1:45 - Drops of God 3:15 - France is #1 for wines 4:20 - Union Grand Cru 7:00 - Introducing today's wine 8:10 - Left bank & right bank 9:20 - They are always in competition 11:25 - French wine prices 13:20 - History on the Chateau 14:30 - Olfactory analysis 16:05 - Taste the wine 17:58 - Rating of the wine     Today's wine: Chateau Ormes De Pez 2020 $40 GET THIS WINE    *Gironde Estuary - Dordogne & Garonne rivers   Connect with me on IG @sipandgrowpodcast   Get your FREE Wine Aroma Wheel at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale    Check out my Italian Wine Guide at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale
