Dear friends of good wine,

I wish all of you a wonderful Memorial Day weekend with family and friends and lots of good wines to share.

This is a reminder that there is only 1 (ONE!) room (single or double occupancy) left for the wine tour to Bordeaux in September. As you know I only travel with a small group: we are 12 people max including my husband and myself. Participation is on first come first serve basis.

If you like wine and food pairings, this is the tour for you. We will not only taste gorgeous Bordeaux wines, we will also have the privilege to enjoy many meals perfectly paired with the respective Châteaux wines right at the Châteaux with the owner / manager / winemaker.

Besides doing Châteaux hopping, I will also show you other aspects of “Bordeaux” that the usual wine tours to the Bordelais do not do:

we will be introduced to the “Place de Bordeaux” buying and selling system unique in Bordeaux by visiting a négociant house, a wine merchant;

we will visit a cooper to see from A to Z how a barrique is being made;

we go to the basin d’Arcachon to see how an oyster is raised - and of course we will taste the oysters;

we will experience the big bodies of water so important for the Bordeaux climate: the mighty Gironde estuary and the Atlantic ocean;

instead of sitting for 2 -3 hours in traffic every day going back and forth to Bordeaux city we will travel around, spending nights in the heart of the Left Bank in Pauillac and in the heart of the Right Bank in Saint-Émilion to “feel” the vineyards;

and of course we will spend some time in the vibrant, hip, cultural, cool city of Bordeaux.

Our Châteaux tour takes us to: Sauternes, Pessac-Léognan, Margaux, Saint-Julien, Pauillac, Saint-Estèphe, Médoc, Saint-Emilion, Pomerol, Blaye. We will visit well-known classified Châteaux, classified under the radar Châteaux, and so-called “Petits-Châteaux” producing phenomenal wines.

This tour is basically a wine seminar on the ground: you will get a thorough understanding what “Bordeaux” is all about - and of course the tour is also lots of laughter and fun.

Hello,

I wanted to pass on Annette’s Schiller’s notice of one hotel room opening for September Bordeaux Wine Tour. For those of us who have done this Bordeaux tour with Annette we would give it “a 15 on a scale of 1-10!). If interested (or know someone who may be interested) you should call her IMMEDIATELY.

Regards,

Bruce and Vicki

BTW: Vicki and I leave on a Piedmont Wine Tour with Todd Ross in 3 weeks
