Lots of fun. All questions by the group were answered and the docent encouraged us to bring up everything we did not understand. For example, are twist-off caps for wine OK? He did provide good background--for example, what is the difference between the 1st cru domains of Burgundy and the 1st cru Bordeaux? But he never made anything too technical or went too long in his explanations. Our food/wine in tastings were excellent, also. Never did a wine/food offering before--but I will sometime soon.

The places for the tour were fantastic, and each different in its own way. we were able to experience different wines form different regions. Our Docent choices were perfect. even the cheapest wines were a demonstration of the qualities of French wine. we would do it again

What an excellent introduction to French winemaking areas and traditions! Preston clearly knows and loves his subject. He chose two small but first-rate wine bars, and at each of them we sampled two wines (and associated "snacks"). It was quite a fun learning experience, and we (who are Italian wine drinkers) came away with new knowledge and appreciation for wines we didn't know before.
