Chateau Tour de Mirambeau from Bordeaux’s Entre Deux Mers Region is owned by The DeSpagne Family and produces a unique white Bordeaux wine blended from Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon & Muscadelle grapes. The Muscadelle nuance provides a delightfully flowery aspect.

David Kohl presents Chateau Palvi organic selection from Gaillac in The Sud Ouest wine growing region of France. This rich red wine is a Syrah based offering blended with Braucol, a grape indigenous to Gaillac. It is unusual to find Syrah growing outside the Rhone Valley area, but the blended nature provides a distinction native to The Sud Ouest, one of France’s oldest wine regions with influences from the era of Roman Empire. #wine #sudouest #syrah #winetasting #winehistory
