Bordeaux
THE big wine story next week will take place in Bordeaux, where flags are already flying over turreted stone chateaux to welcome several thousand enthusiastic merchants and journalists.
They're swooping in from around the globe for en primeur, the region's famous annual spring ritual. (Some call it a circus.) From Monday to Friday, we'll all sip and spit hundreds of red, white, and sweet wines from the new 2016 vintage, still ageing in oak barrels, to evaluate how the wines are turning out.
