This course has the potential to be great. I would suggest having more wine makers run the classes as the gentleman for the white wine week was a wealth of knowledge. We got to try numerous wines over the course, 34 to be exact. If you choose to do the dinner at the end of the 5 weeks you will try another 25 or so.
