Testimonial
"The French Wine Scholar Program is one of the finest programs of
French wine studies I have encountered. In addition, Jo-Ann Ross, as a
facilitator, adds her superb teaching expertise to the material. This
is the best way I know to dive into French wines for trade or French
wine enthusiasts." -- Reta Martin, Resource Plus - Producers of the Boston and New York Wine Expos
