For the past 13 years my wife and I have been spending two to three weeks during the month of August living on a barge on the river Mayenne in France; eating the foods of the region and studying the loire wines of the area. Our specialty courses that we teach ar: The Wines Of Burgundy/ The Wines of the Rhone Valley/The Wines of the Loire/The Wines of Bordeaux/Cepage and Terroir of France. My wife, Julie Feinberg was the first winner of the Sopexa Amateur Wine Contest in 1981. She won a free trip to France and was asked by Christian Milleau of Gault Milleau(spelling???) to go against top professional wine taster in France. My wife lost on the last wine!!!
