Olivier Thiénot founded L'Ecole du Vin in 2003 to share his passion for wine with amateurs and connoisseurs alike. Currently, L'Ecole du Vin offers courses on wine and winemaking at two locations in Paris and one in Lyon. For beginners, start with L'Art de la dégustation, a course that instructs aficionados how to identify and enjoy the aromas and flavors present in each glass of wine. Other courses focus more specifically on wines from all the different wine-producing regions of France. Courses are two and a half hours long and cost €59. You can register online at www.ecole-du-vin.fr. L'Ecole du Vin, 48, rue Baron le Roy, 75012 Paris, 01 43 41 33 94.

Taste wine in the comfort of a beautiful Parisian loft with the instruction of an English-speaking French sommelier at Ô Chateau. "Wine, Two, Three" is an introductory course that covers the basics of three reds and whites. Or perhaps the "Grand 7" would be more appropriate for trying a wider variety of seven French wines. Another course to choose would be the "Wine and Cheese Tasting Lunch," which, besides four wines and Champagne, also includes delicious French cheeses. Costs range from 20€ to 65€. For more information, visit www.o-chateau.com. Phone number if calling within France is 0-800-801-148. If calling from the US, please use 631-615-4548. The Wine Loft, 100, rue de la Folie Méricourt, 75011 Paris, 0-800-801-148.

THE VINES OF PARIS
AND ILE-DE-FRANCE
Reviving
Old Traditions
With strong legal control over selling Parisian-made
wines commercially, it may be surprising that vineyards
are popping up all over Ile-de-France. Wines have
been made here for hundreds of years, which makes
it a cultural venture rather than a lucrative one. |
