'Rick Stein's Long Weekends' begin… in Bordeaux

There’s a good chance that we’ll be on BBC2 this Friday night at 9pm when Rick kicks off a new series. We’re hoping that shots of our lovely grapes during the harvest are left in - but not the ones of the overcooked Pauillac lamb. ‘You had your chance, Gav, and you blew it’ exclaimed the director, David, as the joint came out of the oven.

Even without the unmissable Bauduc bit, anyone with an interest in Bordeaux, travel, wine or food should make a point of watching.
