Sunday Market, Bordeaux

I love strolling on markets when I’m abroad and like to be surprised by what people like to share. Their goods, stories and culture. Love the craft and passion.

After surfing the nets on Saturday, I found out that Bordeaux has an awesome farmers market. A nice way, I my opinion, to have breakfast and get to know a city and its locals. So, you won’t find me at the hotel buffet.

For breakfast I treated myself with sourdough bread, good butter, caneles, fresh apple juice and macarons for on the road. To early for oysters man…

Visit Quai des Chatrons, Bordeaux on Sundays :)

I want you !

This is the Air Jordan 7 aka bordeaux. The colors on this sneaker is too awesome and if anyone has a piece on like this, I am sure they will be strutting down the street in confidence. :P I am totally hoping to cope me a pair. :)

OG Bordeaux 7s I had around September 2010

Beautiful. I regret not taking a lot of pictures with them.

I also regret them literally falling apart and turning to dust as I walk a block in them.

1989 Chateau Gruaud Larose, St.-Julien

Now that we’ve finished some small bites (panisses, beets and chevre, hummus) and a lovely spinach salad (and most of the first two bottles of wine) it’s time to move on to the closer… No, not the primetime Kyra Sedgwick vehicle (sorry, Kevin Bacon, but it’s not sweeps yet)… No, I’m talking about something special to close the show…

I’ve always loved the ‘89 Bordeauxs because I have a penchant for that sort of Bordeaux that smells like a wastebin in a kindergarten class after pencil sharpening lessons. In this arena, the Gruaud is no let down. At this point we decanted about an hour ago and the nose is still stinking of cedar chips, lead pencil shavings and bell pepper with a rich undercurrent of, dare I say, currant. Structurally this is weighty on the palate with med + acidity that elongates this density across the palate. Finish is long and the notes on the palate really emphasize the fruit with the role reversal leaving the earthiness, minerality, and, yes, that pencil quality playing the supporting role… A little like Sam Shepards “True West” with the major tasting notes exchanging roles somewhere along the mid-palate.
