We spent much time visiting wine makers, vineyards, even spent a week harvesting. This past fall I got to taste a Chianti Classico still in evolution from grapes I had harvested the past year. An amazing experience. Here is a link to the Gastronomicom wine program in Cap d'Agde - Valerie DeSavis is phenomenal. http://www.gastronomicom.fr/cours-de-vins,us,8,61.cfm<br /><br />I'm still considering a longer course, and she's currently in the process of redesigning some of the wine programs.Val https://www.blogger.com/profile/17756024122711114873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473859950804429810.post-28477048017559472102011-02-08T11:49:40.499+00:002011-02-08T11:49:40.499+00:00Valerie, Tried to send you an email but it was re...Valerie, Tried to send you an email but it was returned to sender. Where did you do the course in Tuscany? What a wonderful retirement present. And do tell moe about the Adge course.

I found that 1 day per region in my Wines of the World course was a teaser and wanted to learn more indepth about French wines, but in their respective terroirs. So I found a charming little culinary academy in Cap d'Agde, to start. They have a wine teacher, Valerie, who is very knowledgeable on all the regions - very passionate. You may even know her, but if not, I can introduce you in e-mails. She took us to the Wine Festival in Montpellier, to Banyuls (!), Corbiers, and brought in a guest lecturer for an in-depth lesson on Medoc. The more I learn, the more I realize I don't know, but I do know I'm not done exploring France and it's wines.

I just spent 1 month in Languedoc-Roussillon in a French wine course (not enough time at all, I know) but I like this region because it is little known, diverse, and so interesting to me. I look forward to reading more over the course of my varied studies!
