Learning about wine?

La Clape is a designation for a wine that comes from an area near Narbonne on the Mediterranean. I believe it's a village name that the wines are a cru within the Coteaux du Languedoc and that "La Clape" by itself is not an AOC designation. Clape is also the last name of a winemaker in the Northern Rhone who makes a fine Cornas. Wines from La Clape and Cornas from August Clape are two very different wines, with the latter being much higher priced and far more age worthy, but perhaps one of them is your wine.

Went to the final of the 6 classes of my "Basics of Wine" course at the Cordon Bleu tonight. I have enjoyed the program very much. In case any of you are interested, the next Cordon Bleu wine classes start the week of April 5th. I think I am going to sign up for the intermediate course which will begin on the 6th of April.

By the way. This year (2005) I took some wonderful enology classes through the Mairie of Paris/ ADAC. Sadly, these highly successful/popular courses are to be discontinued since the city has decided that ADAC should only be for arts classes, like Sculpture and Bookbinding.
