It’s time for my 2023 Thanksgiving Day Special! I have three free samples for this year. 2 from Bordeaux and 1 from Australia. I’m super excited about these wines. First is the 2020 Château de Chantegrive Caroline. Second is the 2022 Yalumba The Y Series Pinot Noir. The third wine is the 2020 Château de Chantegrive Rouge.
