Wine Tasting: Bordeaux

This week, Wendy Narby, teacher at L'Ecole du Vin in Bordeaux came to talk about the region's fabulous wines.

Wines tasted [from left to right, as shown in the glasses above]:
  • Chateau La Rame, Bordeaux Blanc, 2007 (sauvignon/semillon blend) $12.99
  • Chateau Le Bonnat Rouge, Graves, 2005* (Merlot) $14
  • Chateau Sainte-Marie, Bordeaux Supérieur, 2007 (Merlot/Cabernet Sauv blend) $13
  • Grand-Puy Ducasse, Pauillac, 2002 (Merlot/Cabernet Sauv blend) ($49.99)** 
  • Castelnau de Suduiraut, Sauternes, 2003 (semillon/sauvignon blend) $20 for a half bottle
*2005: A great vintage for Bordeaux
**Wendy Narby's comment: "It's twice the price of the other wines, but it's twice the wine, isn't it?"...Yes, yes it was.  Sooo delicious.
