Bordeaux will not give up the pole position

    For some strange reasons, I didn't want to turn away the chance to visit some of the best wineries in the world when Jake from Bibendum Wine called to tell me the good news. I was invited to visit seven Châteaux in three days: Durfort Vivens, Pichon-Longueville Baron, Cos d'Estournel, Smith Haut Lafitte, Petit Village, Siaurac and Suduiraut. The plane took off with six lucky sommeliers onboard: Nicolas Clerk, Alvaro Marcos Garcia, Rupert Taylor, Joao Pires, Franck Albert and me. I was sitting next to Rupert from the restaurant Trinity in Clapham and his funny stories about wine and difficult customers almost made the flight go too fast!
