“Bordeaux 2019 Tastings: … Thirty samples were air freighted to the participating Commanderies and the tasters submitted their findings to the GCVB. The reports and the list of wines tasted along with photos can be seen on the GCVB Events web page : click HERE
After reviewing the reports, the overall opinion of the 2019 vintage was “very good to excellent!” 
The U.S. Commanderies that participated were: Saint-Louis, Denver, Atlanta, San Francisco, Boston and Cleveland.  
Each Commanderie used COVID-19 safe protocols to conduct their tasting.
