Daily Wine Tidbits

Let's talk about Burgundy, France. Burgundy is a region located in central eastern France. It is one of the major wine producing regions that is AOC designated. There are misconceptions that the region of Burgundy only produces red wines because of its name. The truth is, Burgundy is renowned for its very good, and expensive white wines. There has been a lot of confusion with this wine because going back about 20 years, many winemakers labeled their red wines "Burgundy", even though the wine itself was a simple table wine. Also, many wineries today, particularly U.S. wineries, still label their red wines "Burgundy" even though they definately have no resemblance to an authentic French Burgundy wine. How dare us!!!!
