Ultimate Excursions: Taking Your Projects from Beginning to End Bordeaux, France The Bordeaux region of France has some of the most expensive wines on the planet but there are also great wines from the area that are both affordable and delicious. The area was once an ancient lake bed. As it dried, it left behind a lime sediment which gives these wines the unique flavors that make them so desirable. The two main wines from the area are the Burgundy and the Chardonnay varieties. Unlike other wines, these wines are created from a single grape, the pinot noir and the chardonnay. This area is perhaps the most desirable place on earth for serious wine connoisseurs. Burgenland, Austria Austria doesn't produce as much wine as other countries, but what they do is highly sought after by wine lovers. Thanks to a winning Shiraz, travel to the region continues to grow. Now, there are a number of wineries located in Burgenland which produce great wine and offer tastings.
