-What is some general information about Bordeaux that the consumer needs to know?
The number one piece of advice I could give to someone looking to acquire Bordeaux is to find a merchant that you trust and develop a relationship with them. As consumers and consultants get to know each others tastes, likes and dislikes, the chances dramatically increase of getting an enjoyable selection suited to the customers taste. The second most important piece of information is to be careful. Only purchase Bordeaux from reputable wine merchants who know how to buy and store Bordeaux properly. If you are buying wine from an unknown entity and they are selling a wine at a drastically lower price than the national market, there is a greater than zero chance that you will get burned. Thirdly, look to less heralded appellations and vintages for some eminently compelling wines at superb values.
