Our morning sailing brought us to the famed Gironde estuary and to the town of Pauillac. Situated in the world-famous region of Médoc, this lovely village was a perfect starting point for our day's excursions that gave us the opportunity to sample some of the fabulous red wines of this area.
On the way we saw fishing camps along the river, gorgeous homes, and had another wine lecture by the Sbragias.
