Wine is about good life and pleasure. Wine is also about culture and heritage. Yet, it can be intimidating: How to read a label and select a wine? How to open a bottle properly and pour wine in a glass? What is important to know about a wine region, a grape variety or a vintage? How to speak about wine and learn to appreciate it to the full and pair it with one’s favorite dishes?
This class will take you through all these questions and much more, giving you the opportunity to learn and taste by yourself some of the most emblematic wines from most French regions — ten wines altogether! In just two sessions, you’ll feel more comfortable in ordering, drinking and appreciating French wines.
Eric Sautedé holds a Wine & Spirit Education Trust Level 3 advanced certificate in wines and spirits, and has been teaching wine appreciation in French and English for the past six years.
