One of the best parts of
being Le Wine Buff for
Enjoy Bordeaux is that I get to try a lot of very wonderful,
high QPR wines from Bordeaux. Indeed, all
five of the Buffs have been very busy filming short tasting videos of each of
Today's Bordeaux: The Top 100 Affordable Bordeaux for 2010. Later this year we will have 100 Days of Bordeaux and debut a new tasty and affordable wine from
Bordeaux each day, all hand-picked by none other than the
Bordeaux Wine Council, itself.
During Memorial Day Weekend here in the States, I was able to taste and film
8 of these wines all in one gigantic HD-driven swoop. Clearly however, this created a major conundrum...what to do with the leftover wine?? Hmm, holiday weekend, sun and no work...DUDE we should BBQ!! And thus driven by vino need, The Lady and I set about inviting friends over and purchasing copious amounts of food with which to eat with our many bottles of opened Bordeaux.
The first day waking up in Bordeaux was a slight bit disorienting for this 'Buff. First off, I wasn't tired despite all of my travel overnight the day before and immediately launching into almost a full day and night of awesome Bordelaise activities. Indeed, I felt so fit that I decided to go for my first run of the trip, along the riverfront that we walked the day before. Fearless Mutineer, Alan Kropf (Twitter) took up the challenge to join me in my jogging quest.
[The documentary short of the footage taken during our trip, "Meet Le Wine Buffs", has now launched! You can find it, as well as all of our 100 Days of Today's Bordeaux on the Bordeaux Wine Vimeo channel.]
