The Beauty of Bordeaux Pairings
It’s no wonder the world’s most knowledgeable wine connoisseurs are captivated by Bordeaux. Sure, to command the sometimes outrageous prices there’s some hype. With wine there always is, but Bordeaux wines are the standard and have been for centuries, especially when it comes to pairing with food.
Following a Dream in Bordeaux
Often it’s the unexpected that turns out to be the best, and that was certainly the case on our Bordeaux adventure. This was a trip two years in the making– hours on the phone with airline ticket agents trying to work out our frequent flyer points and hours of planning. It was all worth it! […]
Our Virgin Voyage to Bordeaux
We just returned from a couple of weeks of wine and food exploration in France. Bordeaux was one of our main targets. After all, it’s the wine mecca of the world. You could say we were following a dream…

Wine Geeks & Foodies This One's for You
We did it. We popped the cork on a 50 year old bottle of wine to begin a weeklong celebration of my birthday. (At this age why not!) It ‘was’ a 1959 Chateau Lynch-Bages from the Pauillac appellation in the Bordeaux region of France. This AVA region, by the way, produces three of Bordeaux’s five […]
50 Years in a Bottle to be Uncorked – Savoring the Future
I am about to celebrate a milestone birthday. In anticipation of this ‘event’, my sweet husband several years ago bought a 1959 Chateau Lynch Bages (Bordeaux) to drink on this occasion.
