Knowledge

While Bordeaux En Primeurs week is approaching, we remember the important persons of this iconic wine region. It was really hard to mention all of the Bordeaux VIPs, so we made this short list which shall be continued in the next part of this article. 

There’s a popular joke among sommeliers: “We had a vertical tasting that eventually went horizontal”, meaning that the tasting has become a party. Actually there is much more meaning in these two terms. Lets’ disclose it once and for all.

When you buy top Bordeaux wines, you not only get the wine now – you get a wine for which the concept of “now” will be applicable for decades further. For those – time is a kind of spice. This is where Einstein’s concept of time’s materiality flourish like Eden’s garden flowers.

Disclaimer: Donald Trump is a teetotaller, same as Joe Biden. But there were times when U.S. presidents did not mind having a glass of Pinot or Champagne. Those days are far gone but we, the people, remember them well. So, what wines did the presidents prefer?
