"Silk kerchief, monogrammed d.l.C. A noble's accessory, clearly."
CD Projekt Red are no stranger to neat references inside their games, this is evident from the Assassin's Creed reference in Witcher 2, and the famous Tyrion scene from Game of Thrones in the open-walled cell, they usually love to poke funny easter eggs, and this one is funny and spot on.
The easter egg is placed near a pouch filled with florens which was the developers gab at the overpricing of a lot of other companies game DLC. Fantastic!

Blood and Wine is a legit expansion, its filled with awesome new content at an insane value, its the most satisfying piece of content you can get for a post release video game.

Toussaint, the land of love and wine is a new area introduced in the expansion, it differs from the main game grim atmosphere, Toussaint is a colorful and fairy-tale like, the country-side is super beautiful, the landscape looks phenomenal. I believe (Southern France/Northern Italy/Switzerland) inspired the location.
Beauclair the capital city is one of my favorite cities ever, the city is beautifully designed, you can see its distinct architecture, its vibrant culture and glorious palace while taking your tour, admiring the view (especially at the festival in the beginning near the lake, absolutely breathtaking view).

Toussaint is a land rich with culture and lore, it has its accent, its tradition and folklore, its festivals and religion, exploring the map will reveal hidden treasures, pieces of lore and history and old interesting stories that took place way before. Exploration is very rewarding and interesting.

Superb job on the voice acting and sounds design, hilarious sketches from the fairyland quest (big bad wolf), what's better is a new soundtrack collection with fantastic music. Taverns are bigger and more carefully designed, the lighting at night is so well done, its calm and romantic, embodies the land of love and wine.

Story Premise is interesting; Geralt goes on a high value contract, tracking a powerful beast that plagues the peaceful calm land which is Toussaint, Dutchess send after Geralt (they had previous connections from the books). Story starts out like a murder mystery, with Geralt doing his detective work to track down the beast (serial killer) with impressive attention to details, afterwards the story progresses into branching paths with crazy reveals, its tightly written and not journey-adventure type like the story of the wild hunt which makes it better.
Great variety of cast to meet along the way, memorable characters with likeable personalities.
Side quests are the same high quality you would expect, personal favorites are the bank parody which was hilarious and Roach side quest (this was was touching and funny at the same time).

Gameplay wise i loved the new Gwent deck as it added extra layer for strategy, the quest design and dialogue is very well presented. New enemies with more attack patterns, better boss fights, new and better gear that adds passive specials, a new system which offers mutation and adds variety to builds, cool skills to unlock, its obviously a step up from the main game.
Also one of my favorite, you get a house to decorate, paintings, artifacts, swords get to shine in your new marvelous house, the place is amazing, loved the river and gardens surrounding it.

I love this expansion, its like a sequel disguised as a DLC, the new area, the new soundtracks, the upgraded gameplay elements, the story and characters, its fantastic all around, it offers both quantity and quality, and it serves as a love letter to the last Witcher book.
Its an essential part of the Witcher experience and marks the end of Geralt's journey, it completes the Witcher 3 and elevates it as some of the finest gaming experiences ever made. Its like a beautiful mixture of a Book, Movie, Video game, all packed together like a symphony.
