View from the Vineyard! Bordeaux, That Is!







All I can say is "C'est Magnifique'!"
This was truly a fabulous, hopefully-not "once-in-a-lifetime" trip, because there are many more global wine regions to experience. But the bar (pardon the pun) has been raised to an incredibly high level, given the generous and very special entre' we received at every Chateaux we visited.
We came to Bordeaux on the draft of our friends at Calvert-Woodley Wine shop in DC, and between lucking into that favored airspace and due I'm sure to the savvy and likability of Greg Poirier, our own personal WINE GUY and guide, we were certainly given special treatment and tasted some of the world's most famous (and famously guarded) wines.
These pictures are just a tiny slice of what is still to come, and I have much more to write than this about my magical 10 days in France, but here's a sip to get you started!
Abientot!

What a magnificant journey we experienced together. We experienced the real hospitality of major players in the most famous wine region on the planet. All of that is not easy to put into words. Mary, having you on the tour made the event that more special. Thank you for the contributions!
