“Love sent from Bordeaux”

“Bordeaux – Durutti Column”

According to this pamphlet I picked up, Bordeaux is classified as a ‘City of Art and History’ and has - according to the ever reliable source that is Wikipedia - been described as "an outstanding urban and architectural ensemble".

Now as fascinating as all of that is, I find it very difficult to concentrate on anything that is even going to vaguely enhance my cultural knowledge when I’m faced with so many different wines.

Now I do not claim to be a connoisseur of fine wine, far from it. However when a man sporting a beret and moustache is practically forcing glasses of the stuff into your hands, it’d be quite frankly rude to say no. I also found that after trying several different wines, I did become an expert on the matter, declaring rather loudly what an ‘excellent year’ this was and how wonderfully ‘full bodied’ that was.

I’m going to regret this whole experience in the morning I’m sure…

Write soon(er than last time).
