Earlier this year, I attended a dinner that highlighted the wines of Bordeaux. But these wines weren’t the ones I expected to see; the serious and spendy reds I think of when I hear “Bordeaux.” Instead, they were affordable and approachable, the kind I’d want to serve for the holidays — or just drink on any given Tuesday night.

Curious to find out more, we invited Mary Gorman-McAdams, an advisor to the Bordeaux Wine Council (and former wine writer for Kitchn), and Patrick Cappiello, the wine director at New York’s Rebelle and Pearl & Ash, to come to our offices. We tried a bunch of wines, got a bit geeky about grapes, and learned a lot about the region.

The top tip I took away, though, was one I didn’t expect — and it has to do with understanding the wine label.
