At 6.29, the pic is Pichon Baron not Pichon Lalande. Great Pauillac too. Cheers from a French viewer 😊

Thanks for that pick up. My excuse is I didn’t do the final edit of this episode because I was in New York attending some tastings with some other wine professionals. I apologize for the error. I usually review the final cut twice before it goes live and I still haven’t viewed the finished episode (which I will do now).

Hi Tom, I thought Mr. Grgich made the Chardonnay that won the Judgement of Paris?

[@thomasbain9150]

Mike Grgich made the wine Bo Barrett took over winemaking after Grgich left. The 1973 Montelena Chardonnay put them on the map and brought Mike Grgish into the limelight. Bo Barrett owns the company. Thank you for the correction. At one time Mike Worked at Robert Mondavi.

Agreed Pichon Lalande is good, still waiting to let the 1986 to sleep for another 5-8 years

Burgundy is dead. Prices in Bordeaux are crazy, but in Burgundy they are just fantasy. In 1998 I bought an Aloxe Corton Grand Cru for 50€. Now I find the same wine for 350€. Don't waste your time with Burgundy, you can find real Pinot Noir value in Germany, New Zealand, Chile and the USA without risking to pay a fortune for some mediocre wine......And I am a french patriot.

Burgundy just doesn't make much wine in the overall market. I want to say it's only 3% of the French market which is itself only a portion of the global market. And of the 3%, only 1-2% is grand cru and less than half of that is red wine. There is just too much money chasing a, relatively, tiny amount of volume.
