5.00Our sommelier Julia was delightful and full of vino knowledge. We could not ask for a better wine tasting expert who was engaging, inquisitive and personable. The setting is a quaint living room vibe with comfortable seating. We thoroughly enjoyed the Cremant De Bourgogne sparkling wine - that is a go to from now on. We tasted white and red wines allowing us to explore several appellations and the differences between the whites and reds. Overall a great learning experience of Burgundy, Jura, Beaujolais and Lorie Valley regions. The French produce excellent wines--understanding the wine labels is another matter.
Super fun and interesting- something for everyone!
