Not really much of a fan of champagne, but the Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has me simply salivating.
Do enjoy.

A glass (or two) of red wine from Bordeaux (in France) is keeping me company this evening.
A glass (or two) of Viognier, from the Pays d'Oc in France, is keeping me company this evening.
.. Portao Da Adega - Branco -- a "white port" wine from Adega on 45'th, a small, estate winery located in Osoyoos, BC. The wine was purchased in-person (by daughter) at the winery, and gifted my way after her return from a stay. In words from the winery (on the bottle) " .. a traditional Portugese style blend of Muscat & Gewurztraminer grapes and spirts .. " In my words, a unique, definitely new-to-me wine, and I feel fortunate to have been given the opportunity taste its flavours.
That looks, and sounds, (and reads as though it is) absolutely fascinating.
I had no idea that one could obtain white port outside of Portugal.

A glass of white wine from Burgundy is keeping me company this evening.
A 2021 "Angels and Cowboys" blend from Sonoma this evening with our burger. Quite delicious.
Just wow!!!!!!! So it’s very difficult to find apogée wines. Best is 5 to 6 years and these ones were absolutely flabbergasting.
With a huge seafood platter.

Wow.
I'm impressed and envious and salivating.
What a fantastic selection - two superb wines.
I look forward to tasting notes, and to reading your response to my question of which of those two exceptional and quite splendid wines you prefer (and why).
Do enjoy.
The seafood platter looks exceedingly appetising, as well.
Reading your post reminds me that a white wine from Burgundy - perhaps a nice Chablis - may be called for, this evening, to keep me company as the night wears on.
Ah! I asked guests which one they preferred and it was both! Typical vanilla notes and nuts. Really amazing and so lucky my local caviste had them. I live in south and here it’s mostly Rosé!
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery:
Thus, I am at present sipping a glass of Chablis, (actually, a Chablis 1er Cru), an exquisitely elegant white wine from Burgundy, in France, a wine made exclusively from the Chardonnay grape.
Fantastic.
Fine, that was the stated (non-preference) of your guests, though I cannot, in all conscience, blame them for their clear inability to choose between those two superlative wines:
Now, which of those two superb and splendid wines did (or do) you prefer?
The Puligny was more subtle, almost like a Grand Cru with that feeling of Plénitude.
The Chassagne had more strength so overall both were amazing in their own and respective taste. Overall I think the vintage makes the highest difference.

Ordered some beers, (a selection from Weihenstephaner, in Bavaria, Germany, and some from Trappistes Rochefort, and St Bernardus, both legendary breweries from Belgium) from a local store (the proprietor and I are friends) and had them delivered to me today.
