What Past Participants Have to Say…
We thoroughly enjoyed our class on French Wines with Anne and Food, Wine and Flavor! Anne blends her knowledge and love of wine with her engaging personality to put guests quickly at ease. She imparted a lot of information in a short amount of time, answering questions, sharing historic tidbits, and keeping everyone interested. Looking forward to the next one.
We enjoyed last night. You did a great job! I loved the story about the grapes growing on a pergola. Your wine selection was inspirational and affordable.
