Publishers Text

Bordeaux is acknowledged to be the home of wine, the region where centuries of tradition have allowed mere men to perform miracles with the humble grape to create some of the most desired, and expensive, products on earth. Hg2 and WineChap have uncovered the most interesting wineries and chateaux, it's not all about the big names and top dollar tickets, it's about the unusual, the undiscovered and the quirky. While including some of the famous houses they have also gone in search of the newer, boutique brands of the region. The reviews of the wineries are combined with reviews of 20 fabulous and beautiful hotels, chateaux and bed and breakfasts; 30 gourmet restaurants where readers can pair wine with the menu and establish what wine should be really paired with what foods. Finally, they explore other things to do in the region, from tours and courses, to spas, walks and museums for the wine weary. This is the perfect companion for a trip to the region, far more informative, irreverent and realistic than the competition. It's not about dazzling readers with impressive vocabulary, pretentious descriptions and a self-inflated superiority - this book is for those who enjoy wine, want to know more and come with a sense of adventure.
