This week topic is Weekly Photo Challenge: Resolved. This is picture of Bénédictine DOM herbal liqueur. This drink developed by Alexandre Le Grand in the 19th century and produced in France. This drink was given from friend of my father for my wife after childbirth. They said one shoot glass a day will help to clean stomach and everything related to childbirth. This drink was sitting on wine rack since last year for me to look and hope to open it soon. Beginning of this year, we started to drink it. Yes, I also drink it to accompany my wife. It tasted nice and sweet. Resolved 😀

Costières de Nîmes 2006 by Auguste Antonin France.
The gold spotlight is shining on the label.

de la Chapelle Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 by Vialard & Hosteins France.
The label is too simple. It only contains text without border. They should improve the label.

Château Bois-Martin 1999 by Leognan (Gironde) France.
The building landscape picture on the label is interesting. That is a château which is a manor house or residence of the lord of the manor or a country house of nobility or gentry, with or without fortifications, originally—and still most frequently—in French-speaking regions. The urban counterpart of château is palais, which in French is applied only to grand houses in a city. This usage is again different from that of the term “palace” in English, where there is no requirement that a palace must be in a city, but the word is rarely used for buildings other than the grandest royal residences. The expression hôtel particulier is used for an urban “private house” of a grand sort. Some castles are now used as hotels.
The red color on the bottle cap is also eye catching. I can tell it has a good stopping power for customer to buy this wine.
I have not tasted this wine yet. However, this is an interesting wine to put on my wine rack collection.
Château d’Arcins Haut Médoc 2005 by Cru Bourgeois France
The Médoc is a region of France, well known as a wine growing region, located in the département of Gironde, on the left bank of the Gironde estuary, north of Bordeaux. Its name comes from (Pagus) Medullicus, or “country of the Medulli”, the local Celtic tribe. The region owes its economic success mainly to the production of red wine; it is home to around 1,500 vineyards.
The Château picture on the label is interesting which look like painting. The picture looks more stand out than the brand.
I have not tasted this wine yet. I keep it on my wine rack collection.
