Bordeaux bleg

Next week I am headed to Bordeaux for the inaugural meeting of the Society for Quantitative Gastronomy.  How will they react to hearing I am not (yet?) much of a wine drinker?  They will be talking of Michelin stars and the econometrics of wine prices; I will be harping on Texas barbecue, Sichuan peppercorns, and why Hyderabad has the best Biryani. 

Your suggestions for Bordeaux, wine or otherwise, would be most welcome.  I might have a free day or two for a side trip as well.
