Today’s Bordeaux blend is probably my favorite one yet for the price point. I get into the history of today’s Producer which happens to be the longest unbroken line of ownership in the world of any wine family. Due to the Chateau’s location on the riverbank, it was known to protect citizens from attacks by the vikings which is why it appears to be a fortress. So much history behind this beautiful castle that went from being a military fortress to a full time working vineyard and winery after the French Revolution.

As I open up today’s bottle to try, I also get into the importance of shooting for the sun, the moon and the stars when it comes to setting your goals. The process of achieving those “crazy, wild goals” is the most important part because in putting in all that work and repetition is where you unlock and accomplish more than you thought you would. Tune in now to get all the details on today’s wine and my thoughts on accomplishing your goals and getting the best results that will unlock the best version of you yet.
