Vintage Burgundy Tasting back to 1929

Thoughts on the matter: “I like all paintings. I always look at the paintings, good or bad, in barbershops, furniture stores, provincial hotels. I’m like a drinker who needs wine. As long as it is wine, it doesn’t matter which wine.”

 

Pablo Picasso - Painter

 

It matters what kind of wine here at the Wine Watch and red Burgundy is one of the types of wines that we drink a lot of!

 

The secret to good health is lots of red wine containing many great things but resveratrol is one of the best things for you in wine and the wine that contains the most resveratrol is red burgundy.  So, whenever we get a chance to pop some bottles of red Burgundy we take it here at Wine Watch and the vintages that are drinking the best right now are from the 1990’s and some of the wines from the first decade of the new millennium are just starting to show nicely.

 

I was feeling a bit under the weather last week, so I decided it’s time to get my levels of red Burgundy up with a tasting of wines from the 1990’s and the 2000’s.  We have a huge collection of red Burgundy in the store right now so for those of you that can’t make the tasting I have included all the red Burgundy wine that is 20+ years old in the store in this offering on SALE!
