I apologise for painting such a monochromatic picture. I meant no offense. I simply felt that your father's introduction to Bordeaux in his exceptional tome, 'Vintage Wine' led me to believe that claret was his preference.

I should also have clarified the miniscule level of degrees in terms of preference. I adore Bordeaux, and you'll probably find more notes here on claret than on Burgundy, even though the latter is my favourite. It is simply by a hair's breadth. 6.1 of one and half dozen of the other.

Thank you for your comments and insight and again, I apologise.

Actually, my father, Michael Broadbent loves Burgundy. You say he doesn't like it as much as Bordeaux, which isn't necessarily true. Give him a great Burgundy over a good Bordeaux any day. Given a great Bordeaux and a great Burgundy, it depends on what he is eating. He is a huge Burgundy nut. Always has been. He just happens to think that he knows more about Bordeaux.
