The two-hour tasting course at this city-sponsored school is a great preface to any wine touring in Bordeaux. The classroom resembles a high school science room, with individual work stations and spit sinks. The classes, which can be requested in English, take participants through a brief history of wine and explain how to identify aromas (with the help of scented markers – it sounds bizarre but it works). Afterwards, there's a tasting of four different vintages. For wine novices, it's educational and a lot of fun.
