Following the theory of the art of French wine, a tasting will be offered which may give you a different outlook on the selected wines and their individual taste. Tasting wine does not have to be a speciality. There is, however, a vast vocabulary that explains what one’s strictly connected senses feel: your sight, your smell and your taste.
