Welcome back wine nerds.  If you have ever wondered if it is possible to reference both Star Trek and Lord of the Rings in one 25 minute podcast that covers everything south of the city of Bordeaux and west of Garonne River... well the answer is yes.  This week we go over Bordeaux Blanc, some of the lesser known white grapes of France and we ask the question... should Sauvignon Blanc be oaked?  I use the help of some very good books to make it though this episode:  The Oxford Companion to Wine by Jancis Robinson.  The Complete Bordeaux by Stephen Brook.  Inside Bordeaux by Jane Anson.  I also talk about some pretty world renowned wines:  Chateau Haut Brion:  https://www.haut-brion.com/ Chateau D'Yquem:  https://yquem.fr/int-en/ Chateau La Tour Blanche:  http://www.tour-blanche.com/en/ Chateau Climens:  https://www.chateau-climens.fr/sauternes-barsac-decouvrir/style-climens/ Chateau Guiraud:  https://www.chateauguiraud.com/ If you spot something that needs correcting or you would like to request an episode you can reach out at [email protected] or check out the House Wine Instagram @housewinepodcast  This podcast is 100% independent, it is written, narrated and produced by myself, Rachael so if you heard something you liked then scroll down and leave a comment or review, that is the best way that you can support the show.  Until next week, I hope you drink something delicious!  Music Credit: Too Cool by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-cool License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
