I've been brushing up my French wine knowledge lately, because I may have the opportunity to teach a class on French wine soon. If you're interested in learning about French wine, the French Wine Society website is a great resource. Here's an overview of what is offered free and what is offered to members. (Membership is $100/year, which is a bargain if you're serious about your French wine education.)
The site offers:
- Self study programs (with or without certification exams)
- Online study programs (with or without certification exams)
- A listing of in-person local classes by approved providers (with or without certification exams) -- in our area these are provided by the Texas Wine School
- Study trips to French wine regions
If you are a member, you also have access to:
- Live 1-hour webinars, offered monthly and taught by French wine experts, with the opportunity to ask questions
- Archive of all past webinars to view on demand (currently there are 49 available)
- A Pronunciation Guide for each wine region (Ecoute et répète!)
- A Knowledge Database with over 60 downloadable maps and other educational resources
- 10% off anything you purchase on the website (study materials, online courses, exams, even membership renewal)
I love having all this information at my fingertips whenever I want it, so I can learn as it's convenient for me. Spend a few minutes exploring the French Wine Society website, and get inspired to study French wine!
