Chateau Kirwan

OK, the picture above is not from a winery in Bordeaux.  It is a picture of a chocolate shop in the right-bank town of Libourne.  But, I don’t have many pictures from Chateau Kirwan, and after all chocolate goes so well with wine….
Eventually, we travelled from the right bank to the left bank, i.e., from Merlot land to Cabernet Sauvignon land.  Not much to see, as in the picture below – just miles and miles of grape vines.  Though we did get to see Chateau Margaux...

​Anyway, that night we had dinner at Chateau Kirwan, a third growth winery.  Great food prepared by the Viking crew complemented with Chateau Kirwan wines.  The menu is shown below.

​Now the first two wines were quite nice, but the third was really great.  For some reason, our table of eight were only able to drink one bottle of this Chateau Kirwan Grand Cru Classe 2006.  Anyway, here’s a picture of the empty bottle:
