Bordeaux’ Wine Flights – A great way to taste wines

Besides the great food Bordeaux has yet to be known for (now you all know), they have a great selection of wines, from light to bodied, from white to red. They specialized in wines that can be paired with food, and those, which can be enjoyed as is.
