Your Free Pass to the World of Wine

From Bourdeaux to South America?

July 24th, 2008 Posted in South America

It might seem odd to some that I’m cruising along in France, doing Bourdeaux, and all of the sudden I jump to South America. You might even wonder, “hey did’t that guy actually go to Alsace?” Well, yes, that’s true, and I even took some nice pictures of wineries there. And usually classes focus on France first, it being the nexus of all that is wine. But I’ve started taking a class at the American Sommelier Association on Viticulture and Vinification, and they have decided to start with the New World instead of France. This is a departure from their normal course of study. They say they’re doing it this way, because they feel their students are more familiar with new world wines than French wines. It’s an experiment, and I’m one of the guinea pigs. I’m all for it. There’s a test every week, so this gives me newfound inspiration to update my blog every week with what I’m studying.

Without further ado, here comes South America!
