Bordeaux 101

Highly recommend this course!

We are planning a trip to Bordeaux and we wanted to know more about the region since it has so many wineries. What is good about this course is that it gives you a broad overview of the history, terroir (new word for me), and the appellations (regions). It also goes into the different grapes (Cabs, Merlots, etc.). But this course also dives deeper into each of these topics. Like Cliff Notes from school (show my age), but with more meat on the bone. There is a lot of information available on many of the chateaus, which most people (including me) won't likely access; but it is there. The course provides short videos, and then follows up with text. I can honestly say that I can walk into a local wine store, ask for the Bordeaux section, and then confidently navigate myself around the wine options! Great value for the dollar!

Bordeaux not yet started

I haven’t got to the Bordeaux course yet. I’m working on Wine 201 and it’s fantastic.

Bordeaux Wines Made Easy

I’m writing this review from Paris, where I have much more confidence in ordering Bordeaux wines, especially finding the quality alternatives to the expensive bottles. I will be in Bordeaux in a week, which was the main reason for taking this course, where I will also take a tour of Medoc wineries. I thought the course gave great insight into the grapes used and the influence of the terroirs and vintage years. The information was concise, easy to learn, and just the right length. I rate the course excellent, and look forward to taking more. Maybe Burgundy? Thank you.
