Rich in the expertise of winemaking in Alsace, Champagne, Bordeaux and South Africa I am able to adapt my explanations for anyone to be able to understand wine in general and more specifically, South African wines. Note that the tour is made for any level of wine enthusiast, from beginners through to the wine connoisseur and explanations are adjusted according to the specific level of wine knowledge that the guests may hold. I am a very friendly and charming guide with the subtle French flair that I am accustomed too and will give you tricks on every day wine buying, enjoying and pairing. Though I have left winemaking for now, I still go to the Champagne region (where my knowledge of wine officially started) to assist with harvesting and vinification yearly. I look forward to taking you on this unique journey and experience with me. . . 2000-2002 Undergraduate level (BTS) in Wine-growing and oenology, Avize (Champagne) 1998 - 2000 Undergraduate level (BTS) with a major in commercialization techniques for drinks, wine and spirits, Rouffach (Alsace) 1998 Baccalaureate degree (equivalent A-level) in Sciences at " lycee poncelet", moselle, France None

Dear Graham thank you so much for the review and comment , also for the bottle you gave me at the end of the tour. In fact I open it last week, at a restaurant with my wife. So I could remember even more or day out in the vineyard go well, and see you soon in Cape Town.
