Week 12 2015



Hello!

One of the wonderful things about living here is the wine!  And I admit… we get rather blasé about the choice and the price and the variety, all just within Bordeaux.  So, it was great to focus our minds and taste buds on just one region.  A very pleasant evening was spent working our way through some very reasonably priced wines from Blaye.

Are we getting too complacent about the wines on our doorstep? I don’t know, but now I have even more favourite wines!

Whatever you do, and whatever you drink this week, have a great time in the Gironde and Dordogne regions.

Best wishes,
Helen
