I want to learn wine making in Bordeaux, is it possible to do this as an apprentice?!

You can volunteer to pick grapes during harvest!. I hope you know french though!. As for apprentice work, you will have to hit up some of the small farms!. Honestly, I think it is worth looking at Northern Rhone!. Wine there is more labor intensive because of the steep slopes, and I feel you will get a bit more of the art aspect!. Plus I think the fall is a bit more mild, and you are much closer to the southern coast!. Thats where I would be if I could speak French!. Bordeaux is just too much like what the US tries to emulate, so I dont think its worth the effort in this day in age, new wine makers need to learn to push the envelope!. Personally, I will be shooting for the west coast USA next harvest, then on to Aus or South America!. I would do Italy if I had the language skills but my IT is rusty at best!.
It looks like we may be competitors in a few years, I hope you know your stuff :)!. Look me up and we can exchange notes!.
