Description
Chateau La Garde Pessac Leognan WitDe oorsprong van het kasteel gaat terug tot de 18e eeuw, toen Domaine de "Lagarde" al voorkwam op de "carte de Cassini", de eerste algemene kaart van Frankrijk getekend door de familie Cassini in 1756. Het pittoreske Charterhouse, gebouwd in 1732, was in die tijd omgeven door valleien en bossen. De Bourdieu de Lagarde werd vervolgens doorgegeven via de familie Blanchard, tot de aankoop in 1877 door de familie Lacoste, die onderhandelden in Bordeaux.
De oorsprong van het kasteel gaat terug tot de 18e eeuw, toen Domaine de "Lagarde" al voorkwam op de "carte de Cassini", de eerste algemene kaart van Frankrijk getekend door de familie Cassini in 1756. Het pittoreske Charterhouse, gebouwd in 1732, was in die tijd omgeven door valleien en bossen. De “Bourdieu de Lagarde” werd vervolgens doorgegeven via de familie Blanchard, tot de aankoop in 1877 door de familie Lacoste, die onderhandelden in Bordeaux. Zo werden er wijnstokken verbouwd op dit prachtige steenachtige terroir en de wijnmakerij werd gebouwd in 1881. Na de Eerste Wereldoorlog was Louis Eschenauer, een bekende onderhandelaar op de Place de Bordeaux aan de "Chartrons", op zoek naar wijnstokken van goede kwaliteit in de Bordeaux gebied. Hij raakte geïnteresseerd in de wijngaarden rond de top van Domaine de La Garde, die hij vervolgens kocht in 1920, en werd zo de belangrijkste voorstander van de wijnen die geproduceerd werden in het Martillac-gebied, waar hij ook eigenaar was van Château Smith Haut Lafitte.De oogst van de Sauvignon blanc en Semillon
Deze witte wijn van Chateau La Garde is uniek en wordt verbouwd in de wijnstreek Pessac Leognan. Hier groeien en de Sauvignon blanc en Semillon geweldig omdat er een koel klimaat heerst in de wijngaarden. De wijngaarden zijn op behoorlijke leeftijd, namelijk wel dertig jaar en dat bepaald mede de verfijnde kwaliteit. Op verschillende percelen laat de wijnmaker Frédéric Bonnaffous de druiven op groeien. Zo krijgt hij na de handmatige oogst een diverse oogst binnen waarbij hij kan spelen met de druiven Sauvignon blanc en Semillon. Het merendeel is wegelegt voor de Sauvignon Blanc wat bijna de negentig procent aantikt in deze witte wijn. Na de persing en bepaling van de blend wordt deze witte wijn maar liefst acht maanden gelagerd op eiken houten vaten. Daarbij rijpt hij ook nog op de Lie waardoor het echt een plaatje wordt.Vol en zeer krachtig deze Chateau La Garde Pessac Leognan
Het is een feest om te mogen drinken en deze wijn is opgewassen tegen de beste Sancerre wijnen of andere bekende wijnstreken uit Frankrijk. Bij het inschenken zien we een prachtige helder kleur met een groene en gouden schittering. Hij geurt fantastisch en geeft ons indrukken van citrusvruchten subtiel gecombineerd met mineralige tonen. In de mond is het een sensatie, veel rijkdom van citrus fruit met daarbij groene kruiden. Als de wijnen even in de mond walst krijgen we ook indrukken van citrusvruchten, vers gemaaid gras, frisse zuren en ronde smaken van appel en peer. Een wijn met een eigen karakter maar zo verschrikkelijk mooi gemaakt, en wijn voor elke wijn liefhebber.Shipping Notes

Great confidence booster for dad - techniques can be successfully implemented immediately after birth!
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent book! My husband read this book before our baby was born. Although I found a synopsis to be enough for me (no need to read a whole book for five main techniques), as an engineer, he really liked understanding all of the "whys" behind the methods, and understanding the reasoning gave him more empathy for our baby. My husband started implementing the techniques in this book immediately in the hospital right after the birth, and they really worked! It was extremely helpful for his confidence as a dad and for my confidence in him / us as we started the adventure of parenting (especially when I was recovering from childbirth in those early weeks). We have continued using these techniques for months, and they make a huge difference. Sometimes babies get overly tired and don't even know why they are crying anymore, and these techniques help to soothe quickly to get down for a nap. Truly, I do not know where we would be without a good swaddle and turning our baby on his side while swaddled, because he can be losing it completely and then the swaddle / gentle bounce calms him down very quickly. The one thing I wish the book did mention but does not is that it IS possible for a swaddle to be too tight on the legs - the latest research shows that babies need room to bend and straighten their legs for safe growth of their hips, so it's ok to do a fairly tight swaddle such that their arms cannot escape, but there does need to be slack at the feet.

SAVED MY SANITY!!!
Format: Paperback
I don't know why I didn't leave a review on this book as soon as I finished reading it! My daughter was quiet for the first week home from the hospital, but along came week two and around 8 pm one night she began to cry, and this time it was different, we literally could not get her to stop. She cried until around 4 am, and I was terrified that we had a year of colic crying ahead of us, but prayed it was just a fluke and that the next night things would be different. However, 8 pm rolled around, the crying began, and we had a repeat of a night full of inconsolable crying. I had never felt such all encompassing exhaustion in my entire life and I just prayed that there was a book that would have answers for me. So the next morning I took to Amazon and began my search. After reading reviews I decided to give this book a try - the length was perfect, thank you Harvey for getting straight to the point and telling us exactly what we needed to know! I was able to implement the S's the following evening at 8 pm when the crying began and I believed with every fiber of my being that it was going to work - AND IT DID!!! Simulating the womb experience was exactly what my daughter needed to soothe her overstimulated little newborn nervous system and she calmed down in less than a minute and fell into a blissful sleep that lasted until her next feeding, after which we repeated the process and she was asleep again. She was sleeping through the night after a couple of months, and we continued to use Harvey's method until eventually she didn't seem to need it anymore. This book was a lifesaver, I have given it as a gift at every baby shower I've attended since I first discovered it, and I'll continue to give it as long as I live!! This book could just as easily be called Happiest Parents on the Block - I am so very grateful that I found it when I did!

Ignore the sales pitch and absorb the advice
Format: Paperback
I agree with other reviews, great advice but the dr really pushes his products in it. I guess the guys gotta make some money. Worth the read though.

Nuggets of knowledge
Format: Paperback
This book has a lot of knowledge you may already know and/or would definitely see anywhere else on the internet.
I found this to be an easy read that I briefly scan over until I find what I’m more curious about. There are several parts we found to be helpful and just good to have. It’s like adding more “tools”(skills) to the tool chest.
As a new parent, I’m always trying to be a learner. We learned from the little nuggets of knowledge inside these pages
It’s a very affordable book that you can buy used for just a few bucks. Low risk, high reward.
Best of luck to all the new parents out there and congrats to your growing families. 🤙
