First sentence: Bordeaux is a chimera: a city that's also a region; a land of vineyards that's rich in pine forests, sandy beaches and scrubland; a collection of 8,000 wine-producing "châteaux" some of which barely qualify as cottages; an annual flood of wines that run the gamut from dire to divine.
