Bordeaux Fans?  Treat yourself!

21/12/2012

It's not too late to treat the Bordeaux lover in your life to the gift of a lifetime...  Weekend of 18-19 May gives unprecedented access to wine fans and amateur drinkers with no previous experience to get into some the top Chateaux. You'll also have access to tasting nearly all of Bordeaux's Grand Cru wines in one day.  I've been to this event before and if you love Sauternes, Barsac, Bordeaux whites or of course those serious Clarets, this is the weekend for you.  For anyone without industry contacts, getting into a chateau on the right bank is virtually impossible - except for one weekend a year.  That's when the Union of Grands Crus put on their show.  You'll taste wines from as many Grand Cru Chateaux as your liver can handle and you can even arrange to have dinner at one of the chateau on the Saturday evening.  For the 18-35s there's a special evening in the city with a buffet, music, dancing and of course, fine wines.
On the Sunday there's the opportunity to tour chateaux and even a golf tournament.  This is probably the ultimate fine wine tasting event that's open to the public. If you love Bordeaux, don't miss it!

    Purple Teeth

    My name's Heather and I've been enjoying wine for over 20 years. I'm the 2013 winner of the Wine and Spirit Education Trust Rhone prize for oustanding students at the advanced level.
    My mission is to share my passion for the myriad varieties of fermented grape juice, hopefully inspiring you to try something new, or to host  a Purple Teeth wine party in your own home or business.

    My blog mainly features wines you should be able to find on your local high street or online, and occasionally, I will review restaurants, travel and other forms of alcohol, since my qualification covers spirits too.  I believe it's important to enjoy the calories and the cash we spend on alcohol, and I hope my guidance can help you reduce the risk of making a bad buy.
      
    When I'm not drinking wine, you'll find me on the dance floor where West Coast Swing is my dance of choice. Socialising with the friends I've made there from all over the world has also brought me new adventures in alcohol!  And just in case you're interested, I also write a blog called Confidence Within.  You'll find it at heatherharrison.weebly.com


    Remember to enjoy wine sensibly...
    For a woman, 2-3 units per day is the recommended maximum allowance.  This equates to around one standard "pub measure" glass of wine:
    175ml of 13% alcohol wine is 2.3 units (and a scary 140 calories).  
    You'll find all the facts you need about safe, moderate drinking at the www.Drinkaware.co.uk site. 
    Purple Teeth supports safe drinking. Never drive or operate machinery after drinking alcohol.
