Quick notes of a few of these since people have asked… Tyler chard and Bourgeois Les Baronnes open on arrival as samples… both clean and nice: the former a tightly-wound COMPLETELY un-slutty version and the latter an equally un-(insert typical SB descriptor which I refuse to stoop to) version, all clean with slight grass and alpine acidity. 17 Ancient Oaks RRV was full and beautiful, but kinda…

Sure, many of them are organic, some are even natural wine. And yes, they consistently offer rich tastes and aromas, balanced with nice acidity where they’re supposed to be.

And, OK, the packaging is attractive, easy to read and clearly explains the wine you’re getting.

  Of course it doesn’t hurt that the producer and namesake of these wines is a retired superstar athlete known and loved by all of France and the sports world. That the wines have, for the most part, affordable as a characteristic is only another plus.

But, the greatest thing, to me anyway, about Gérard Bertrand wines is that, well…they Go With Everything! 

And sure to please Everyone this holiday season.
