And for some reason I find the Napa Chardonnay vs Burgundy much suitable comparison than Bordeaux vs Napa reds. I don’t think I’ve ever tasted a Napa red that reminds me of Bordeaux. Maybe I haven’t tasted enough, but those two are so so different. Maybe some 100% new oak wines might be a like 🤷‍♂️

Banyuls was correct! This is from Templiers where they age the wines outside in barrels.

Nope! But the vineyards do look a bit same as somewhere in Greece.

We decided to go light with food and use party budget on decent bottles. No complaints!
