Great wine content as usual, minus the affected personalities of those other guys.
Keep it up, guys, thank you
So sad you can’t buy the aligoté or any other wine of theirs in europe:((
In January I had my first taste of Aligote. 1st one was from Terrason. Since then I have been seeking Aligote's and from the King Valley region and it has been sooooo hard to find! I have tried Sentio and they are goooood! But I still love Terrason's Aligote….. if you can get your hands on this……. try itz! I am a massive Chablis fan and Aligote's is definitely my wine of the year! That's a big deal cos I am from the Barossa region and love my big reds from the Barossa, McLaren Vale and the Coonawarra.
You guys are absolute legends! Saúde! 🥂
The way you put emphasis one the moment is really important ! The best wine you have are the wine you are sharing with the ppl you love.
There is not a way to post a picture on this forum, but I'd like to send you a picture from our hallway. Of Trevallon's vineyard. A gift to me from my wife; many many many years ago. I will poke around and see if there's contact info or any other way of sending it. Keep up the great work.
Well done guys, love your content and look forward to more of it in 2025. Cheers.
Loving the content and emotion team! Keep up the amazing work
Thank you guys, great content! I am one of the new fans of 2024, keep it up! Cheers, or as we say in Sweden, Skål!
