Ninth experience ... Vinset !

Hi friends! As you saw in our last posts we love hanging out in wine bars in the Saint-Pierre area. And as we were never really disappointed we decided to go again and this time we went to a special place called « Vinset » close to the church on the Saint Pierre place.

The inside of this bar is refined and modern and very laid back which put us in the convenient mood for our new tasting. Look for yourself! You just want to go in and have a glass:

As we said this place is special, and why, because it is one of the few wine bars in Bordeaux where you can have a personalized wine tasting course and on top of this Vinset offers take out gastronomic food and wine! Perfect when you are not in the mood to cook and not in the mood for a fast food by nice a refined food!

Vinset has no less than 30 different wines by the glass ranging from 3 to 8€ a glass which is similar to all the other wine bars we did. And in order to not be narrow minded on only one region, wines from the South Ouest of France or Champagne can be bought! And as all the other wine bars you can have some tapas of meat, cheese or even seafood! Ok we kind or always repeat ourselves with this tapas thing but it is the perfect idea to make people stay longer and order more wine!

In the mood of tasting nice wines, we decided to taste two wines that the waiter advised us. These ones we served by the bottle no high tech machine. Yes everyone has switched to serving tapas, but not everyone is decided to buy the machines yet..

Our experience: 

1. Château Bernateau 2006: Saint Emilion Grand Cru

Yes as the end of the year is approaching for us students we have decided to offer ourselves a Grand Cru Classé to celebrate! The wine was complex, fruity with a piece of cloves, the whole was long in the mouth.

2. The Dada Rouillac, Pessac Léognan 2010:

This wine is the second wine of the very famous Château Rouillac which we always see beautiful adds on the French wine press with a beautiful landscape and horses! This is why this wine is called this way as dada means little horse in French and as the owner loves horses! The nose is smoky, wired to say but it is in fact barbecue sauce aromas that we felt… but also more typical ones such as ash: you know this aroma you smell in tobacco boxes.
