Where 'La Gourmandise' is not a sin! |
An Introduction to Wine |
Wines can be a fascinating subject and also a source of mystery and fear for those who do not know much about the subject. For those who are looking for an introduction to the interesting world of wines, and want to learn the basics of how to select wines and be familiar with the subject we offer an intensive 3-4 hour course that will teach you what you need to know to have a working knowledge of wines. |
I started as a Gourmet, and over the years my love for the pleasures of good food and good drinks became bigger than my love of the rituals, rules and the complications normally associated with the Gourmet world. For the last 15 years I converted myself to a Gourmand and I have been crusading to demystify and simplify the pleasures associated with good food and good drinks. My goal is to teach and help everyone who has an interest in good food and good drinks to appreciate this sensual subject. We have to remember that the pleasures of the table are the only ones that are essential for our survival as an individual. That is probably why that some consider them a sin! The course consists of a theoretical part followed by a formal tasting of 7 different wines. Your teacher, Luc Paquin, has traveled the world as a wine and gourmet food consultant and buyer for a variety of companies for more than 25 years. His vast knowledge on the subject makes him a fountain of information and his informal style make the often daunting subject accessible to all. Here are the basic things you will learn during this course. Theory " A brief history of wine " How wine is made " The different types of grapes " The different types of wine " The major wine regions of the world " How to read a wine label " How to taste wine " Basic wine-food matches " The order and temperature in serving wines Tasting " Tasting of sparkling wine " Tasting of white wine " Tasting of rosé wine " Tasting of red wine Question Period Conclusion We are ecologically conscious so we do not offer printed manuals with our courses and conferences. Each student will receive a free USB memory with all the didactic material from the course plus some interesting related information and some free software. Due to the intensive nature of the course and need for the proper communication between student and teacher the registration is limited to 25 people on a first come first served basis. The cost of the course is $1350 Mexican pesos. To ask for further information with no cost or obligation or register please contact: cursos@igourmand.com |
