French Wine!

Today we worked on more French Wines... we left Bordeaux for Burgundy and the wine labeling laws got even more chaotic. Thanks to the WSET classes I had an inkling of what was coming, but having to learn it in a room with 20 people who don't particularly care about it and just want to get done with lecture is very different from learning about it in a room of 20 people who are truly interested in wine.

Burgundy is crazy with how they label wine, but sometimes you just have to let go and realize that the French do things in their own way. And they make some of the best damn wine out there, so sometimes you just have to learn the rules and go with it. You can't argue with people about it, it just is what it is!
