This time we taste a wine (2023 Long Country) that's a real bargain - just 13 bucks for a litre - from the Central Valley of Chile. It's a great deal, but is it a great wine? After watching the video, why not book a tour in the Okanagan for this summer with this link!
My journey to complete my WSET level 2 and my WSET 3 certifications was populated with many tastings and bottles of fine wine. In the older posts, read about my journey in this blog that featured wines in both of the courses. Now that I have completed my WSET 3, I now use this as a place to review and talk about different wines that I am currently drinking as well as wineries that I visit in my new role as a private Wine Tour Guide.

Time to Taste a Special Wine from Madiran, France
Madiran is a wine region in South West France in Gascony. The wines there usually have the Tannat grape in the mix. Tannat is a rich, bold, and somewhat tannic grape that makes a wine that is perfect for a special occasion! This producer makes a wonderful wine, a 2017 Brumont Chateau Montus, often referred to as the Petrus of the South West.

Time for a Splurge from Bordeaux!
This time we taste a Margaux wine from Chateau Tayac from the Bordeaux wine region. This is a less extracted, softer Bordeaux wine but still packs a lot of flavour. It is the ideal wine for a splurge!
