VinExpo is upon us again.

VinExpo-Bordeaux takes place every other year in the city of Bordeaux, France, and represents the world’s largest wine fair open to the trade. Wineries from Europe, Asia, the Americas, etc. showcase their production to potential buyers from around the world.

We will taste and compare hundreds of wines; of those, only about a dozen will be retained as potential candidates to become part of the wine portfolio at ABC Fine Wine & Spirits.

Our two-week journey started in Northern France’s Loire Valley, followed by winery visits currently in Burgundy.

Tomorrow we are visiting for the first time the wine region of Savoie, home to high-elevation whites with lower alcohol levels that are fresh and light; this style of wine seems to be the new general trend for whites.

We will finish with five days at VinExpo in Bordeaux; with that, our “Tour de France” will be complete.

Stay tuned for more information over the next few months on exciting new discoveries from wine country.
