a city you can go to is Lyon during the "Fete des Lumieres" which occurs every year in december. I've lived there for 4 years (leaving in ~2 months actually :( ) and it's always nice to stroll across the city during that time of the year, lots of pretty lights shows a bit everywhere. (this year... well, last december ... there were some really cool ones !)
definitely check it out if you have the opportunity. this year it will be from december 8th to 11th. google pic it to get an idea of it !
I moved to Bordeaux a year ago and I have the exact same problem. It's even worse: most of the time wine is more expensive here than in Paris or Belgium.
Bordeau wine is like Mont St Michel: too famous for its own good... You'll find more authenticity in lesser traveled Routes des Vins, and I can see you already have received many invitations in previous comments! PS: obviously your are aware that you are supposed to spit the wine you taste, not drink it! PPS: Loved the Blair Witch tribute :o)
you should go back to Bordeaux during the "Fête de la rivière" and I can assure you that you may be drunk, after a day tasting (getting drunk) wines and eating some south west specialities along the river ! it's an awesome party in Bordeaux
@MiChmski this take place between 18 and 19 june (and the good name is fête du fleuve, i made a mistake, sorry) but this "fête" alternate between wine and boats every year...so this year it is about boat (but this is bordeaux so there is wine anyway). But in 2012 if you're still in France, it will be the real fête du vin, and during one week you can taste a loooooot of wines ! google it if you need more info.
@adroual it's " fête du fleuve " guys .. :) i'm from bordeaux, and i live here. it's totally " fête du fleuve " it's in June every year and ITs pretty awesome !!!!
@adroual it's la fête du fleuve and it takes place every summer , very famous here in Bordeaux on the docks ( les quais ) with your glass of wine it's wonderful !! Bordeaux is a beautiful city better than Paris haha !
The problem with the wine in france is common to us... The place for free wine is Germany !! "Freie Wein Phrobe" niiiiice You can drink so much wine if you want until you have enough and buy enough (ridiculously cheap!!!) Check "Mosel"
Passe en Suisse une fois, on est surement très intéressant à observer aussi :p et on a d'excellentes caves ou tu pourra déguster plein de bons vins :p
love your videos! just started making wine videos myself, and this one definitely taps into the common perception of visiting Bordeaux!

It is true that not many chateau in Bordeaux actually welcome people for wine testing. Got to be lucky or to know some local people.
I however know a few good places in Paris to go to (O-Chateau for instance).
You should also try the "Salon des Vignerons Indépendants" which takes place twice a year and where you can test a lot of wines (good times!).
Tips for Bordeaux bottle: always buy one that is "mis en bouteille au chateau". It means grape has been grown, picked up and embotled there.
