Let’s face it: We live in a world where we expect things to taste the same every time…forever!

Try a few glasses and you’ll understand the French saying, “With Burgundy, you think stupid things. With Bordeaux, you say stupid things. And with Champagne, you do them.”

Wine originated in ancient Georgia. The Greeks and Romans later developed it further, sure, but it is the French who honed their growing and winemaking techniques over centuries—make that millennia. That’s why today the French are most associated with the art and craft, not to mention the lifestyle, of wine.
