Vinexpo 2019 in Bordeaux - 12th to 17th May 2019
I experienced a very eventful 5 days in Bordeaux during Vinexpo in May 2019
On Sunday the 12th May, I went to Vinexpo Gala Dinner at beautiful Chateau Soutard organized by .........
Next day, Monday the 13th, I participated in beautifullly organized dinner at Chateau d'Yquem for the international press. It was a quite intimate one, only 400 people were there, including owner of Yquem and Cheval Blanc and new mayor of Bordeaux
LOOKING FORWARD TO PRIMEURS IN MARCH/APRIL 2020 TO GET CONFIRMED THE GREATNESS OF 2019 VINTAGE. IMPORTANT - UNFORTUNATELY AND BECAUSE OF MAJOR CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK IN THE WHOLE WORLD, I'LL NOT BE TRAVELLING TO BORDEAUX FOR EP IN MARCH/APRIL AS I ALWAYS DO. MANY EVENTS THERE HAVE BEEN CANCELLED/POSTPONED TO LATER THIS YEAR.
