VINEXPO, the largest wine trade show (i.e. wine tasting) in the world is taking place in Bordeaux this week and, unfortunately for me, I'm still in California. I've rarely missed it but just couldn't fit it in the schedule this year. I've had to endure the opening of invitation after invitation to special tastings going on at the show, soirees at famous chateau's, meeting opportunities, etc., and frankly, in lieu of being depressed, I decided to open my last bottle of 2000 Bordeaux -- Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande.
Oh yeah, it's good and I'm feeling a bit better!
Earthy and complex with cigar and cedar -- fruit and tannins still young and delightful.
At least by not going to VINEXPO, I won't have to suffer plate fatigue for the next several weeks. Yep, that's the best I can do...
