Bordeaux - le vin

Obviously there is Bordeaux - the wine, no surprise here, but what was a surprise was the beautiful little town of Saint Emillion. Great wines come from St Emillion, but instead of enjoying the wines wherever you are, rather go enjoy the town. Lurking on the side of a hill you get a great view over the vineyards. With such charm, comes the inevitable; touristy and commercial, but it didn't detract.

Apart from the wine, take a chance to sample a Bordelais special; the cannelés.

Food and wine always tastes better in the right ambience, a bottle of red in St Emillion must be hard to beat.
