video60 People. One Unforgettable Bordeaux Dinner 🍷🇫🇷
One of the most unforgettable moments from our Bordeaux River Cruise took place at Château Biac, where 60 members of our Vino VIP community gathered for a private evening filled with incredible wine, food, and hospitality. 🍷🇫🇷 The night began with a walk through the estate and cellar, followed by an incredible cocktail hour featuring caviar, foie gras, jambon carved off the bone, tartare, and a few Lebanese touches from the Asseily family. Then came the long table. Lamb shoulder, ratatouille, cheeses, homemade Lebanese ice cream from Youmna, and wines paired throughout the evening including B de Biac, Château Biac, and their Sauternes-style Secret de Biac poured from an Imperial bottle. At one point, we surprised our travel agent Denise with an Imperial bottle of 2009 Château Biac, her anniversary vintage… and there were definitely some tears. The day was so special, and honestly, I got emotional too. Seeing this community we’ve built through V is for Vino gathered around one table
