Behind on the shows - just watched this one today. Loved it! During the first week of June this year I spent a few days in Bordeaux with chateaux visits and great food. We visited about 10 places and I have to say that the visit to Latour Martillac was probably the best: the reception, the tour (no pun intended), and the wine: all was fantastic! Thanks Pascal!! They were botteling the 2006 while we were there - great to see.

all the spaniards go to bordeaux to pick
side note - i had a 1989 la tour martillac rouge last year and it was nice, real nice. my host had the bad idea of serving it with new wave tai, so i held off on eating as much as possible. anyhow, it had some life in it still. it was goooood.

Wow, I’m late. The look on Tristan’s face when you said you got a hint of “Sweat sock” in the 86 was fun to watch. Good show.

I’ll have to try a white Bordeaux, as I am a fan of Sancerre and the Sauvignon/Semillon grapes in general.

QOTD: Not planning a trip to France any time soon, but I am very much enjoying this virtual tour of Bordeaux, especially with great guests like Tristan.

Enjoy the shows on the road, particularly in France.
I have the 2000 Latour-Martillac laying down in the cellar.
I bought it for $20 per bottle in 2003 while traveling in Europe.

QOTD - visited St. Emilion in 2003, would love to make it to Graves as soon as I can.
