I have only ever passed the periphery of Bordeaux on the way to somewhere but never really stopped to take in the city. I remember the various vineyards we passed seen from the car window.
Your story made me stop and think if I have ever met a kid in real life who spilled words of wisdom. Hmmm...nope, I guess not.
I couldn't agree more- "more expensive doesn't always mean better quality in my experience." We once encountered a really cheap bottle of wine from Lidl and when family members tried it one day, they asked which "cave" it was from. 😁
The area around Bordeaux is really nice. There are vineyards all over the place. We especially liked Saint Emilion. That was our favorite spot in the region.
I think that kids definitely have their own sort of wisdom at times, maybe not quite as abstract and philosophical as my made up story but they definitely make you think and reflect on things in different ways at times. In this case though it was just a story that popped into my head that I thought was funny lol 😆
That's funny. I don't doubt it though. There are vineyards all over the country that produce great wine and a lot of the time they are both excellent and super cheap to buy.
Saint Emilion rings a bell. Can't remember where I have tried it. Will definitely keep an eye out for a bottle.
Speaking of kids, their lack of filter (which is a great thing) reveals many things.
I actually meant the town of Saint Emilion was our favorite but that that statement actually does apply to their wines as well. The vineyards around the town produce the best wines I have tried in France so far. The only issue is that they were quite expensive. The caves and wine stores in town were so fancy that we were too intimidated to go into most of them ahaha. We did go to a vineyard though.
Very true about the kids 😆
I can imagine intimidating caves and wine stores.
Got it, the name of the wine had a Chateau, one of the vineyards I suppose from Saint Emilion. Next time, (quite difficult to find really good but affordable French wines in the Philippines) I will pay more attention to the full experience of drinking it. Haha we get too engrossed talking and noticing an empty glass.
I think talking and socialializing is the most important part of wine drinking 😁
