A Local’s Take on the Best Restaurants in Bordeaux
Bordeaux’s revitalization is more than new tourism initiatives, the sprawling La Cité du Vin and a city that has been awakened like a shiny new diamond emerging from under the black soot. The city long had a reputation for a sub par food scene; one that certainly didn’t match with top notch wines in the […]
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: March – July 2020
I’ve almost hit publish on this post every month since the beginning of April, only to feel scared people would think I was whining. So I’d just save it in the drafts and revisit as the next month rolled around, before continuing to remain silent. Now here we are as August arrived. COVID-19 is still […]
The Best Places to Stay in Bordeaux
Bordeaux. If you’ve ever even so much as browsed the wine aisle at a grocery store, you no doubt know of Bordeaux wine.

Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: December 2019
Happy New Year! It’s not only a new month, but a new year and an entirely new decade. Reflecting back on the last decade, life sure has surprised the hell out of me. In June 2009, we left the US for what was supposed to be a four year assignment overseas. Leading up to that […]
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: October 2019
After a really long hiatus, we resurrected Bordeaux in 365 Bottles last month.

Tim arrived from his Mongol Rally retirement trip basically at the […]

Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: September 2019
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles, my monthly recap of being an American expat in France and running a travel blog as a career, went on quite the hiatus. The last one I published was in June 2018. I meant to resurrect Bordeaux in 365 Bottles with a June 2019 edition. It would have been excellent timing […]
