Hey Penegal. You stuffed up. There is an actual chateau, deconstructed in France, and shipped out here and re built, in its own vine yard at auction here today! Sweetwater

And they were originally only hoping for a lazy $30m! :shock:

Here it is mate. Shall we make an offer for you?

Vintage: an excellent time of the year to do a wine tour! Learn so much more when it can be seen happening, rather than an abstract description out-of-season.

Have fun all .
