Very nice broad introduction/overview of Bordeaux wines! - Good experience with a mixture of learnings, tasting wine and some appetizers as well as trying out our sense of smell. Nice with such a small group. The only downside was that the guide talked quite fast and with a French accent so sometimes it was a bit hard to follow what she was saying.
