Bargain Burgundy II: Have Speedo, Will Tipple:
Mark faces his own potential “Weinergate” when the French force him to don a speedo before swimming in Burgundy, France. After he reluctantly does, he seeks post-humiliation succor in Bargain Burgundy, which can be found in less-heralded Burgundy villages such as Savigny-les-Beaune and Mercurey.
